from 84 reviewsBeautifully made perfect addition to my Japanese inspired bath house bathroom.
Exceptional quality. Unique pieces. Very happy
Recently purchased the Japanese bath stool and it’s lovely. Gotta love functional and aesthetically appealing at the same time. Kawaii X
Thank you. I love my vase!
This is the 3rd bag I’ve purchased from Kanso House.
They are SO GOOD
Lovely form, beautiful, rich patina, tactile. What's not to like?
We couldn’t be happier with our gorgeous carvings! A really unique addition to our home that we will forever cherish. They are a real talking point with guests too. Superb delivery and packaging. We’ll be watching Kanso House for other home gems,
This is a little gem, and in beautiful condition. A lovely little bit of Japan in my kitchen.
Kogo come in such a variety of styles and materials. A joy to see a group of them together. Thank you Kanso House!
I am excited to start using my LeSent body wash after waiting for my new ensuite to be completed. It was worth the wait! I love the silky texture and refreshing scent. It also stays in my hands instead of sliding onto the shower base like some brands. I will be ordering more from Kanso House.
I 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.
