About Us
A small box of Japan, selected with care.
Hi, I’m Tsuyoshi, the founder of ZEN Home Finds.
I was born and raised in Hokkaido, the northernmost region of Japan, known for its wide landscapes, nature, snow, and calm way of life. Today, I live with my wife, our two children, and our two dogs.
I have also lived in Tokyo and Australia, and I have spent a lot of time overseas through both work and personal travel. Through those experiences, I became interested in sharing Japanese products that are still not widely known outside Japan.
Why I started this shop
There are many small Japanese goods that people in Japan genuinely enjoy using, displaying, sending, or gifting — but many of them are not easy to find overseas.
ZEN Home Finds was created to introduce those items in a thoughtful way: products with Japanese charm, cultural feeling, quality, and a sense of everyday beauty.
How I choose the items
I personally look at, touch, and select the items that go into each box. I choose products that feel Japanese, but still fit naturally into modern homes and everyday life overseas.
Things to display
Small paper art, seasonal pieces, postcards, and objects that can bring a quiet Japanese accent to your home.
Cards to send
Greeting cards, postcards, and paper goods that can be shared with someone as a thoughtful message or small gift.
Everyday goods
Items that can be used at a desk, in a bag, around the home, or in small daily routines.
Japanese feeling, modern use
Products that carry Japanese culture, design, or spirit while still feeling natural in contemporary life.
Packed by hand in Japan
I understand that ordering from overseas can feel uncertain. You may wonder whether the shop is real, whether the items will arrive safely, and how carefully they will be packed.
Every ZEN Signature Box is packed by hand in Japan, one item at a time. I take care with each product so that the box feels thoughtful, personal, and ready to enjoy or gift.
Shipping from Japan
All boxes are shipped internationally from Japan using trackable air shipping. Delivery times may vary depending on the destination country, shipping method, customs, and local delivery conditions.
Tracking is provided so you can follow your package after it has been shipped.
If there is a type of Japanese product you are looking for, you are welcome to leave a note when placing your order. Requests are not guaranteed, but I will always consider them when preparing your box.
