A Japanese Miniature House – 5 Reviews

To build a Japanese miniature house, you could just, of course, buy a miniature kit from Hongda or Hoomeda, but for those who want something truly original, there are always sellers on Etsy 😉

If you are wondering about the Asian architecture and miniature artists working in this style on their dollhouses, you can always check out my blog post on this style as well.

But anyway, let’s move on to the topic right away with these 5 reviews on Japanese miniature stores:

Store number 1: Imagewomen

Jessie’s craft studio from California sells a big list of miniature items, there is a list below.

Some more info about this shop.

This store sells a lot of different miniature items, but also about 10 items that are Japanese style related:

• Miniature DIY kits
• 1:12 miniature food and drinks
• 1:12 miniature furniture

Sadly no longer available on Etsy

The good and the bad :

The Good.

• It’s a 5-star seller, which means that it consistently earned 5-star reviews.
• Returns and exchanges are accepted
• You can choose how many pieces of Japanese food miniatures should go on one plate, so they are totally custom and handmade
• Good craftsmanship for the handmade items

The Bad.

• The only negative I can notice from this store is its facemasks not being good, but that has nothing to do with our miniatures;-)

Final Conclusion.

I love the little Japanese food miniatures and thus I would buy from the store!

Store Number 2: ArtreeAsia

Fantastic paper art mini models!

Some more info about this shop.

Now this store is something else because the miniature models are made from paper, which is called paper art.

They all have an Asian/Japanese theme and you can assemble them as a miniature kit. The pieces are already cut out.

Glue is almost not required to assemble but some parts do need to glue.

The models are precisely designed and produced, and you only need to participate a bit yourself to complete them, just follow the instructions.

The price :

Different prices, check out the store.

• Fantastic craftmanship
• Original kits that should be easy to assemble

The Bad.

• There are no shipping and return policies available

Final Conclusion.

I would buy from this store, these kits are very fine and original.

Store Number 3: 1Man1Garage

Artisan designs, they are made from wood.

Some more info about this shop.

This store makes and sells wooden handmade dollhouse kits with an Asian architectural design, and other styles. Some of them you can even put a candle in.

This item was designed by the seller and laser cut out of birch wood.

Store Number 4: KusiNoMachi

Lots of Japanese dioramas.

Some more info about this shop.

The Japanese little diorama you can buy in the form of decoration, but also as necklaces and even earrings.

If someone is fond of Japan and its designs, this is the place to be!

The price :

As usual, variable prices, check out the store below, please.

The good and the bad :

The Good.

• this is a shop for which the buyers are raving!
• fast shipping
• good craftsmanship
• the seller is from France, so it doesn’t always need to come from Asia;-)

The Bad.

• There was a buyer claiming that her necklace was glued with a glue gun and that a piece fell off the next day. Maybe using superglue could be considered instead of a glue gun.

Final Conclusion.

I love the little diorama in a frame, I would buy it from this store!

Store Number 5: TheDiyCraftArt

DIY craft kits, tools, and miniature models.

Some more info about this shop.

We just can’t ignore the pretty Japanese dollhouse kits, because there are so many of them. Lots more than the unusual other handcrafted Japanese miniature houses.

This store has a lot of choices in these kinds of kits, and even some Asian book nooks!

They are usually on a scale of 1:24, so that can be quite tiny!

The price :

Variable, but affordable prices, check out the store.

On Etsy

The good and the bad :

The Good.

• I really think that these Asian dollhouse kits are amazingly pretty and stylish
• the buyers are raving over this store
• this seller is from Canada, so if you live in the States, shipping shouldn’t last very long

The Bad.

• not so many of these kits are unique or handmade, someone else will also have the same 😉
• the manual usually is not available in English, but you can use the Google translate app easily

Final Conclusion.

I am madly in love with Japanese-style dollhouses and I’m sure that one day I will buy a kit myself!
