About ZEN Home Finds

A quieter side of Japan.

Japanese objects selected for their craftsmanship, local character, and place in everyday life.

Founded in Hokkaido, we connect people around the world with thoughtful products discovered across Japan.

01 — Why We Started

Made with care.
Chosen with purpose.

Some of Japan’s most meaningful objects are made far from the places most visitors know.

In small workshops and regional towns, makers continue to value quality over speed, tradition over trends, and simplicity over unnecessary decoration.

ZEN Home Finds was created to share those discoveries beyond Japan. We choose pieces that carry the character of their maker and region, while fitting naturally into modern everyday life.

01
Local character

Products connected to Japanese regions, customs, materials, and makers.

02
Thoughtful quality

Objects made with patience, pride, and attention to detail.

03
Everyday meaning

Pieces to use, wear, display, gift, and keep beyond a single season.

Our point of view

The most meaningful objects are often the ones that quietly become part of your life.

02 — Founder

From Hokkaido,
across Japan.

Based in Hokkaido, ZEN Home Finds is shaped by a personal search for Japanese objects whose stories deserve to reach beyond their region.

Tsuyoshi, founder of ZEN Home Finds

Tsuyoshi

Founder

I was born and raised in Hokkaido, where I still live today in a small town surrounded by nature with my wife, our two sons, and our two dogs.
 
Over the years, I’ve traveled throughout Japan and overseas, and I continue to do so whenever I can.
Along the way, I’ve built relationships with buyers, craftspeople, makers, and friends across Japan.
These connections give me a local perspective that goes beyond what you might find in a guidebook — from regional crafts and places to visit, to everyday life in different parts of the country.
 
At ZEN Home Finds, we choose pieces with care, looking at how and where they are made, the materials used, and the people behind them.
Our aim is not simply to sell products from Japan, but to share things we genuinely believe are worth discovering, using, and keeping.
 
I’ve always enjoyed connecting with people, so please feel free to reach out — even if it has nothing to do with shopping.
Whether you have a question about Hokkaido, are looking for something somewhere in Japan, want a local recommendation, or are simply curious about life here, I’ll be happy to help whenever I can.
