Let customers speak for us
So pleased with our Hinoki Bath Bucket and Stool. The finish is so good and the hinoki wood is just great for a bathroom.
So easy to order and no problem with delivery. Would highly recommend
I have a love of maple leaves and this is a charmer. What a perfect size to serve olives or some other tasty treat. Candice and Daniel have great eyes for lovely pieces. Thank you once again.
Lovely airy and sweet sandalwood aroma, can burn stick after stick in a small room in the middle of the night and not disturb anyone else and not get overwhelmed by it.
I've tried a fair bit of Japanese incense and this is by far my smoothest experience yet.
Very more-ish. Also, I can't praise Kanso House enough, they are amazing, their service and presentation is beyond impeccable.
Everyone needs a bit more space to tuck things away and this small handsome ko-tansu fits the purpose beautifully. The Japanese are so brilliant designing something that is small, elegant and functional. I'm very pleased with my new helper!
Hi! My friend bought this whisk and it’s beautiful! I was wondering when it would be back in stock? I’d like to get as a Christmas gift!
Cute as a button, just love looking at the tiny piece of art
Love the look and feel of these hand made pieces, each piece different
Delightful piece for all sorts of stuff
This miniature Bizen vase is absolutely WONDERFUL. I can't understand why they haven't all flown to new homes. Beautifully crafted, perfect form, wonderful glaze lovely presence. I was tempted to buy all of them but I didn't want to be greedy. I may get over that feeling.
Exquisite humanity in single square inch of this Japanese utilitarian artefact. Touched our hearts when we unwrapped the parcel and there was a handwritten note, describing some of the provenance and how prized it had been previously by the owners of Kanso House.
Loved and enjoyed using these sake cups. I ordered the red color, and they look so good!
This is a beautiful piece and surprisingly larger than expected. Adore it.
I do look for the unusual decorative pieces and Kanso House do not disappoint.
An educational meeting
Tokyo 31-08-25
At the end of August I met Watanabe san, a passionate dealer in Tokyo who calls himself Japan's Daikokuten sculpture expert. We met at a dimly lit cafe and over the next 5 hours he brought out piece after piece sharing the history of each one, explaining to me the how sculpture designs have changed over the centuries, how to indentify a rare piece vs a common everyday sculpture.
Adding to the collection
I left the meeting exhausted, we had a translator with us who was amazing but listenting to two languages and trying to understand everything I was learning was alot ot take in. I did manage however to buy from him a small collection of wonderful sculptures to bring back to Australia.
Sharing the passion of daikokuten
Watanabe Collection
We can now share these pieces with you and explain the history and meaning behind each one, all thanks to Watanabe San's generosity with his extensive knowledge.
