Morihata was founded by wife-and-husband team Yuka and Kaz Morihata, who met as students at Rhode Island School of Design and built a company around their love of Japanese design and craftsmanship. Based near Philadelphia, Morihata represents established Japanese designers and brands as a North American distributor.

Their work is less about importing products and more about connecting people with Japanese artistry, ingenuity, and a quality-first approach to everyday life. The goods they represent are chosen for their usefulness, refinement, tactile beauty, and thoughtful design.

At Mercer, we love Morihata because the products understand restraint. Nothing is overworked. The objects are simple, effective, and beautiful because they have been considered from every angle. It is the quiet confidence of Japanese design, brought into daily rituals.
