Katachi: The Essence of Japanese Design

The term katachi refers to the essence of Japanese design, such as that of the shape, symmetry, and craftsmanship of traditional craft.
The objects in Katachi embody the union of elegance and usefulness that is central to the Japanese aesthetic, and are made of materials that have played an important role in Japanese life for centuries including wood, bamboo, stone, cloth, metal, and soil. With our collection we continually strive to showcase products that embody the katachi essence ranging from exquisite bento boxes that get their inspiration from authentic Japanese Bento Boxes, characteristics, craftsmanship along with a range of accessories that follow the same ideology.

OUR STORY

Our journey began with a personal passion for collecting authentic Japanese bento boxes and tableware. What started as a hobby quickly evolved into a thriving business when we noticed a gap in the Australian market for traditional, high-quality Japanese tableware. Since then, we’ve built enduring partnerships with trusted suppliers and have made it our mission to share the essence of Japanese “katachi” (form and design) through every piece we offer.

At Katachiware, we’re committed to sustainability. Approximately 85% of the packaging we receive is recycled, reducing our environmental footprint while maintaining the highest standards in delivery and presentation. Our packaging choices reflect our broader values of respect, simplicity, and long-term responsibility, helping us support a more mindful and eco-conscious approach to modern retail.

Did you know that Japanese tableware was influenced by both samurai and geisha culture?

During the Edo period, samurai practiced refined dining rituals that emphasized discipline, simplicity, and respect—values reflected in today’s minimalist tableware. At the same time, geisha refined the art of hospitality, serving meals with grace using beautifully crafted dishes and lacquered trays. Together, these traditions helped shape the elegant and purposeful design of Japanese tableware we know today.
