Morihata

Kaz and Yuka Morihata first met as undergraduates at the Rhode Island School of Design before going on to work for a number of design and architecture firms - first in New York City, then in Tokyo, the couple's hometown.

Upon returning to Japan, Yuka rediscovered a longstanding appreciation for the detailed, high-quality craftsmanship she had grown up with but which was something of a rarity in the U.S. To meet that need, she and Kaz founded Morihata International with the aim of introducing the work of contemporary Japanese artisans to a wider audience.
