Founded in 1916 in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture, this casting manufacturer began producing castings using casting techniques handed down over 400 years. At the time of its founding, the company focused on Buddhist altar fittings, tea ceremony utensils, and flower vases, but in recent years has continued to convey the charm of Takaoka copperware, a traditional craft, through tableware, interior goods, lighting fixtures, objets d'art, and more.
