Casting new traditions in metalware

Drawing from the rich history of the metal industry in Takaoka, Nousaku has been specializing in metal casting for over 100 years. The fourth-generation foundry uses traditional sand casting techniques to create a wide range of goods, from Buddhist ritual objects to contemporary tableware and medical instruments. With its production focused on pure tin, brass, and bronze, Nousaku prioritizes the history and properties of materials to drive design development and finishes each product by hand to allow the unique beauty of each metal to shine.
