Nousaku
In 1916, Nousaku was founded and began manufacturing Buddhist ritual objects, Japanese tea-ceremony utensils and flower vases made of brass and bronze in Takaoka City. The city has flourished since 1609 and built its reputation as the center of the copper industry in Japan over those 400 years.90% of copperware are casted in this city such as giant temple bells and bronze statues, and the copperware made in this city is called “Takaoka Doki” and it is assigned as a traditional craft in Japan.
Our history as “NOUSAKU” brand started in 2002 with the development of the first branded item, a brass bell which was designed by Katusji Nousaku, 4th generation of Nousaku.
The bell was released at a retailer but hardly sold because Japanese people did not use a bell in their home. One day, Katsuji was recommended by a sales staff to transform the bell into a wind chime, because Japanese people use a wind chime in Summer. After the transformation, the wind chime became a big hit, and this episode makes Katsuji decide to develop products fulfilling customer’s requests.
In 2003, Nousaku developed the world’s first 100% pure tin tableware, focusing on the special property of malleability by making use of cultivated technique and experience. A flexible tin basket “KAGO” is the masterpiece of Nousaku and got popularity both inside and outside Japan.
We now manufacture tableware made of 100% pure tin, interior objects, artwork, and medical instruments. As well as respecting and preserving the traditional technique and history, we seek to create products beyond predefined fields to expand the possibility of castings.
