It’s brilliant to see that we are still using nature to make a sensible product,from our planet.it’s such a no brainer of a idea

This little broom is so beautiful made,that it gives you great pleasure every time you use it.so much better than the plastic mass produced products on the market. I just love using it

I purchased this for the features advertised and I’m glad I did- it’s very easy to serve with, the single piece construction makes it easy to clean, and it will last forever.

Double review for:
- Japanese Denim Everyday Tote
- Redline Selvedge Japanese Denim Tote

It was with a little bit of trepidation that I bought these 2 totes as informal gifts for a dear benefactor friend. I often see her use some old and partially torn plastic tote that shops give free with purchase, so I wanted to give her something better. But I am always a bit nervous when choosing gifts for her because she has very discerning tastes, coming from a highly talented and skilled background in the music, arts and crafts fields (she has a master’s degree in Opera Performing Arts from her country’s national music conservatory, is a choir conductor and all-around musician, performs voice acting, is a recording/mixing audio engineer, does choreography, worked in the high-end fashion industry, designed and sewed her own wedding dress, designs and builds stages and props for plays and events, etc.).

So the day comes for me to give her the gifts. I approached her, totes in hand, and I timidly said, “I got you these totes because— ". I didn’t even get a chance to finish the sentence. She had started to eye the totes in my hand at the beginning of my sentence. Then at mid-sentence her eyes lit up, her jaw dropped, she lunged forward, and literally yanked the totes out of my hand, all smiles. She said, “These are REALLY NICE, I really like them! Thank you!” (I marveled at how she came to that conclusion in literally 2 seconds!) Then she proceeded to carefully inspect each tote, noting the distinctive features of each, commenting on how neat, unique, and functional each is, how she’ll use them, and what she’ll carry inside. She proceeded to thank me profusely again, all giddy like a kid with a new little treasure. She started using them the very next day and beams when carrying them.

Thank you Wabi Sabi Shop!

PS: I stumbled onto the Wabi Sabi Shop website by accident a little less than 2 years ago. At first, I was curious about the shop’s take on the wabi-sabi philosophy as merchant and as writer in its communications, and so signed up for the shop’s newsletters.

I read every newsletter I received, and during the first few months thought the topics were whimsical or interesting in a trivia-wise manner though overall forgettable. But over time, the newsletters’ simple prose style, philosophy, and topics gradually did something to me—they reached out and gently grabbed something in my heart…

Now, every time I see a Wabi Sabi Shop newsletter in my inbox, a little spark of joy lights up in me and I can’t wait to read it. It’s the only thing in my inbox that gives me this reaction. I cherish each newsletter like a tiny secret treasure. At first, I thought this was because the newsletters changed over time to match my interests, fancies, and life philosophy. But now I strongly suspect the newsletters did not change—rather, they helped bring to the surface in me the simple but beautiful things and ideas I yearn for in this very materialistic, noisy, greedy modern world that has tempted me with its false charms. Thank you—for reminding me to slow down, for showing me true simple beauty, and for inspiring me to think and live in a simpler but better way.

I can see that the shop and newsletters are labors of love and joy for you. I wish you the best fortunes and blessings. Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!

I absolutely ❤️this one, such a beautiful scented incense. It has become my favourite

I love this hairbrush. I brought my first one when I recently visited Japan and had to buy more for my family. It gives you smooth, shiny hair. Its a teally beautifully made hair brush. Great service from Wab Sabi Shop too 😊

Love it! Very happy it can go over my shoulder. Would have love more if the denim is a bit thicker to my liking!

Perfect size for me very well made. I wish the denim a bit thicker.

It really reduce splatter and allow the food to fry properly . Easy to use, wash & dry. Recommend it!!

This is the best thing that Ive brought all year,with this little gem I can now whip around my entire house in under 5 minutes, and everything is clean. And the best part is,no more chemicals.I love it

I bought one of each of these cups to serve tea from the same white server from Wabisabi shop. Each came individually wrapped in a box with different color paper accent piece. It was so beautiful I couldn't throw away the boxes. I'm thinking of ways to display them so I can enjoy looking at them as well as serving from them. Delicate yet solid. I'm looking forward to serving tea in these pleasing cups for years to come.

I burnt the hanga lotus this morning,just as a morning fog was starting to come in, it was a beautiful setting

The Hanga pine is another beautiful incense to burn first thing in the mornings, perfect way to start the new day
