Made from custom-dyed fabric and acid-free paper, this built-to-last “vault” was designed with your very important papers in mind – from birth certificates and deeds to love letters and pre-K art projects. The multiple compartments, stoppered drawers and vertical file folders – in full and half sizes – make it easy to keep track of your VIPs. Designed to be displayed, it's an elegant addition to any shelf.

Our goal is to help more people live a life that sparks joy, and we are committed to offering the simplest, most effective tools and services to help you get there.

The Very Important Papers Vault

Title

Home & Furniture

Sold individually.
A hallmark of Japanese design is the effortless union of form and function – and a tenugui is a perfect example. A multi-purpose cotton cloth used to dry hands and dishes, wrap bento boxes, serve as a napkin, be worn as an accessory or morph into a protective face mask, tenuguis are beautiful, one-of-a-kind everyday workhorses. Made using a traditional hand-dyeing technique unique to Japan – chusen – tenugui are known for their playful, distinctive prints and patterns, which often reference elements in nature. However you choose to use them, they add an element of joy to daily life.

A beautiful matcha bowl, or chawan, is one of the most important elements of a Japanese tea ceremony. This artisan ceramic bowl was thrown by hand in Japan’s Shiga Prefecture, a center of ceramic production known for its rich deposits of high-quality clay. Made in the Youhen Ibushi style, it is designed for making matcha that is especially smooth and frothy.

Omotenashi – a term used to describe how you welcome guests – is a series of small gestures that begins before your guests arrive and extends throughout the evening. The dishes you use to serve a meal are just one small part of this overarching spirit of hospitality, but the right vessels can still make a world of difference in conveying warmth and gratitude toward one’s guests. Adorned with an elegantly modern design for your mealtime companions to admire and tinted a stunning lavender hue, this sturdy ceramic serving bowl is sized perfectly for summer salads, decadent desserts and melt-in-your-mouth main courses alike. Microwave and dishwasher safe for joyfully easy prep and cleanup.

Japanese Family-style Serving Bowl

Give your komono items a safe home – this small tray catches those miscellaneous objects that often become misplaced like house keys and delicate jewelry. It is crafted from oxidized copper that will continue to age and shift over time, slowly building a one-of-a-kind patina. Made by artisans in Takaoka, Japan, where copperware has been produced for over 400 years, the tray undergoes a process called "coloring," which creates a range of shades on its surface. No two pieces are ever the same, which makes this dish as much a statement piece as a functional organizing tool. Use this tray throughout the home — next to the front door, on a bathroom vanity, or as a tea coaster — to keep surfaces tidy. It will acquire more depth of color through use, shifting over the years as you create countless memories that spark joy in the spaces you love.

A centuries-old Japanese tradition, Arita-yaki refers to porcelain made in the area surrounding Arita, Japan, a prolific center for early Japanese porcelain creation. Designer Teruhiro Yanagihara developed this series of ceramics using traditional Arita-yaki clay composed of crushed stone but taking a more contemporary design approach, resulting in elegantly crafted pottery pieces that are also strong, heat-resistant and made to last. This mame-zara – or “bean plate” – is modeled after the chrysanthemum, one of Japan’s most important and symbolic flowers. The perfect size for condiments or small hors d’oeuvres (or even holding jewelry pieces and other komono), the plate’s unglazed finish creates a distinctive yet graceful look and feel. Also available in Salad/Dessert size.

Chrysanthemum Bean Plate – Grey

Handmade from sustainable bamboo, the latticework on this hamper is a nod to traditional Japanese shoji screens – room dividers that help to make the most of small spaces. With two interior sections – lights on one side, darks on the other – and a removable, coated cotton liner that can be wiped clean, the hamper is as practical as it is elegant. Its solid bamboo lid keeps contents out of sight – and moths and dust at bay. Roomy enough for throw pillows and blankets, this smart container can also be used to store seasonal linens and other bulky items.

Designed to serve as both interior decor and as a practical tool for bathing and self-care rituals, this copper hand mirror honors the beauty of simplicity and the power of honest self-reflection. The copper has been carefully oxidized by craftsman in Takaoka, Japan where copperware has been produced for over 400 years. Through a process called "coloring," each copper plate is treated to create a range of beautiful shades across its surface. No two pieces are ever the same — much like the person reflected in the mirror itself. The conical shape fits naturally in the hand while a soft leather strap strikes a subtle visual and textural contrast to the matte metal. When not in use, set the mirror on a bedroom vanity or living room shelf where it will serve as a functional statement piece. Over time, the copper will naturally age further and develop a unique patina. Worthy of handing down as a family heirloom, this mirror is a testament to the craftsmanship and timelessness of Japanese design.

Oxidized Copper Hand Mirror With Leather Strap

Made by skillfully layering recycled paper and strips of natural wood from Hokkaido, Japan – where it was made – this eye-catching paperweight adds a pop of color to your desk or work surface. Designed to resemble a super cool rock, it brings a double dose of the elements to your office space.

This simple laundry detergent is formulated for a deep clean but is still suitable for even the most sensitive skin. Aptly named for their joyful function, the "soapberries" from the Sapindus Mukorossi tree used to create this laundry detergent make it a natural alternative to harsher chemicals. Wild-harvested in the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains, these berries naturally cleanse fabrics of dirt and odor without the use of added chemicals. They are both safe for your family and for the planet. Spark Joy The Soapply x KonMari Laundry Detergent was tested in real laundromats around the country to ensure it was up to snuff!

A donabe is a deceptively simple earthenware vessel — "do" means clay and "nabe" means pot — that is used to cook delicate Japanese dishes such as hot pots and to simmer broths and dashi. The secret is in its subtle design, which embodies the Japanese approach to slow, conscious living. The stone vessel conducts heat evenly for a slow simmer that allows vegetables and meats to meld together, layering flavor on flavor to create an intricate dish each time. Because of its pared down beauty, the donabe can be carried straight from the kitchen to the table where it will serve as a centerpiece at dinner with family and friends. To share a donabe meal is a communal experience — one that encourages slowing down, eating mindfully and, of course, finding joy in our food, homes and each other.

Traditional Japanese Donabe – Black Line

This snack size bento box allows you to pack small treats that spark joy into one compact container. Created in partnership with the beloved Japanese dining brand, Takenaka, the soft blossom hue is a KonMari favorite.

This convenient size is perfect for tucking into childrens' backpacks or carrying in a tote to the office. Ideal for smaller items, it can also accommodate a lighter lunch such as sandwiches. The airtight design will keep food safe, fresh and organized for hours so that it is always ready when hunger arrives. Pair it with our Super Tidy Spoon & Chopstick Set, Daffodil for a matching set.

Michi-kusa is the Japanese term for flowers on the side of the road; it also denotes lazy lingering and lounging around – the kind of behavior you might indulge in if you found yourself in an unexpected wildflower field.

Add it to your desk or workspace as a reminder to take a few peaceful breaks.
