Frequently Asked Questions

Read FAQs

Where is Karintō Edition based and where do you ship from?

We are based in the UK, and every piece in our collection is inspected and shipped directly from our UK studio. This allows us to provide local, reliable delivery across the country while ensuring that delicate items are packaged with care. Typically, orders are processed and shipped out within 1-3 business days.

Is Japanese tableware suitable for everyday use?

Absolutely. While our collection celebrates traditional craftsmanship, we carefully choose objects designed for modern living. Whether it’s an earthy ceramic or a refined lacquerware, these pieces are meant to be used and enjoyed daily, bringing a little bit of functional beauty to your home.

How do you choose the makers in your collection?

We focus on regional diversity and honest making. We source from historic kilns and independent workshops across Japan—from the famous steel-working town of Sakai to the traditional pottery regions of Arita to heritage textile of Nara. We look for makers who reimagine heritage techniques to create timeless, high-quality objects that fit a contemporary aesthetic.

How long will my order take to ship?

Typically, orders are processed and shipped out within 1-3 business days. However, delivery times can vary based on your location and seasonal timing. You will receive a shipping confirmation with tracking details once your order has been dispatched.

What makes "Kōgei" different from mass-produced homeware?

Kōgei refers to traditional Japanese crafts made with a high level of skill and a focus on utility. Unlike mass-produced items, our handcrafted pieces carry the "personality" of the maker and the unique character of the region they come from. We believe these objects age beautifully and offer a unique connection to the things we use every day.
