More about Me
& HINOKISOKEN

I act as the bridge between you and the Japanese manufacturer. All your communication will be via me. But it is always good to know who is behind these beautiful Japanese bathtubs and their work ethics and vision.

About Miki Nava.

I was born in Tokyo, Japan to a Japanese mother and German (who was raised in South Africa) father.

I was 15 when I left Japan so all my fond childhood memories are from Japan. I’ve lived in many different countries since, but I carry with me many Japanese traditions and ways of life.

I am now married to an Italian and have 2 little girls and want them to continue enjoying many Japanese traditions as well.
