Kanso is a clean premium one-page WordPress theme created by Satori Studio, inspired by the Japanese concept of reaching beauty through elimination and omission, arriving at thoughtful simplicity. Our goal was to develop a minimal, clean, and aesthetically pleasing, and at the same time stable, powerful, and highly flexible theme for use in agency websites, personal portfolios, photography or art showcases, as well as personal blogs and corporate websites. Kanso is a responsive and retina-ready theme, which means your website will be equally usable and good-looking on both large monitors, laptops, tablet devices, and smartphones, including those with high-definition screens.
