About Konohino
What We Hold Dear
In everyday life, there are moments when we pause—
moments when we want to slow down and take a quiet breath.
When the rush of the day finally settles, and we begin to reflect on how we wish to spend the time ahead, our way of choosing things often changes.
Rather than seeking what is merely new, we start to value what can be used for a long time, what brings a sense of calm when held, and what gently blends into our daily lives.
What we choose to keep around us eventually connects to how we choose to live.
Perhaps that is why we naturally begin to care about the stories behind objects—their origins, how they are made, and the thoughts embedded within them.
Konohino is a place that cherishes this way of engaging with objects and the values that come with it.
Craft at the Heart
At the heart of the shop are the works of cutlery artist Hiro Kashihara.
The weight in your hand, the feel at your lips, the subtle changes that appear through continued use, and the growing sense of attachment—all remind us that tools are not merely objects, but companions that shape the time we spend living.
Surrounding these works are items selected to help you spend today comfortably, with just a little more care.
Not for special occasions, but for ordinary mornings and unhurried afternoons—objects that quietly stay close to everyday life and gently settle into each moment.

Sensing the Presence of the Work
In the atelier attached to the shop, you can also see the making process.
There is a quiet richness in watching materials being chosen and shaped by hand—something that words alone cannot fully convey.
When you hold a finished piece, we hope you may also sense the time, care, and presence that live within it.
Amid busy days, these are objects that offer a reason to pause.
If we can help you discover something that makes you think, “It’s a little nicer with this here,” we would be truly glad.
Please feel free to stop by.
