Let customers speak for us
from 74 reviewsI love the wonderful knobbly texture and intriguing colours created by the wood firing. You can see where the flames have touched the clay.
It is very pleasing to hold and contemplate.
And thank you for the delightful little origami bird surprise.
Very happy to get three very different designs that all harmonize together so perfectly. Will have to get out that special bottle of Sake that I had put away. Thank you Kanso House!
The charm of Japanese small dishes never fails to amaze. The various shapes and designs are pleasing and wonderful to use in so many ways. I love plants and these just hit the spot for me.
Beautuful Japanese simplicity & utility. Thank you Kanso House.
Love the form, love the decoration and it looks so good with a simple open camellia in it. Thank you Kano House!
These face washers are soft and comfortable to use.
They wash and dry very well too.
i have given 5 stars because the bucket is terrific
however, if it was bigger it would be super terrific
It’s difficult to describe the magic of this little vessel. Its radial stripes are a match for a small brown limpet shell I picked up on the beach, and knew this would be a joy. Sort of places it in the cosmos. A long life of enjoyment I hope, in which the genmai tastes great.
The glazing of the vase is so pretty, much better than I expected. Although it’s a tiny damage, but it doesn’t affect my wabi-sabi ikebana
Great little box that is just perfect to store all my folded cranes that a have been accumulating , waiting to be made into a crane chain. Thank you Kanso House for your great eyes!
I absolutely adore this ledger! So glad it is full of writing too. I love having historical items like this, that someone once spent a lot of time using and writing in. Item was also sent very well packaged too. Thank you Kanso House!
i have made two purchases from Kanso House and love both items. They arrived promptly and really well packed and secure. I love the descriptions provided on all items it brings their history alive and makes me want to learn more!
I also love the Origami cranes which accompany each item!
Can’t wait to acquire more from Kanso House
This cup is SO beautiful. I love using it for coffee in the morning. The folks at Kanso House kindly and quickly relaxed me the saucer when it broke on route to me. Thank you to the maker and to Kanso. I enjoy this so much.
Very happy with my purchase. Item exactly as described, just need to buy a vintage pipe to complete the look 😳
