Let customers speak for us
So happy with my purchase of a Daikoku and Ebisu plaque. I have wanted one for many years but always to heavy to carry home in my already overflowing suitcases of other goodies. the service and quick delivery from the team at Kanso House is βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ
Received this beautifully carved fish cake mould and was a bit surprised on its size and weight. I have had them before and they were always smaller. I failed to read the dimensions so I got. a happy surprise. The handle has a lovely patina from being handled over the years. Thank you Kanso House!
I purchased 3 x Contemporary Japanese Ceramic Horned Vases
They arrived well packaged and with a lovely thank you note and little hand made origami bird.
The vases themselves are beautiful and in great condition.
Thank you Kanso House I will be shopping with you again .
I purchased two of these bags and they are absolutely amazing!
Love them!
I finished the year with these five little gems 'Japanese Blue stripe handmade glass.' in my collection . I couldn't be happier . Bravo Kanso House . Love what you do !
Item was as described and arrived promptly. I had a cork that actually fitted the hole at top so lucky me! Thank you - looked for one of these in Tokyo and Kyoto a couple months ago but no luck - I went away from tourist areas as well.
The product is amazing and transports you straight back to tradional onsens in Japan. Shipping was surprisingly fast
Loved loved loved it. Amazing service and delivered quickly and with care.
Lovely form, beautiful patina, perfect weight. Handsome appearance looks serene in the room. Kanso finds the most beautiful objects.
I purchased this Vintage hibachi burner for my tea ceremony and it came safely and beautifully. For my first use I made a little mistake that the charcoal was too much and it started a little crack due to the thermal shock. I wish to share so that if someone use this type of vintage hibachi burner, start with small fire and increase with time so that we can avoid the cracks. My hibachi is still look beautiful and still can use with care so I am still happy with the purchase.
Canβt wait to grind roasted sesame seeds in the gorgeous bowl. So beautiful I leave it on display in my kitchen
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!
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.
