?? Product Description
Takaoka Copperware, a traditional craft from Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture, is highly acclaimed worldwide and boasts a history of approximately 400 years.

Its origins are ancient,
Beginning in Keicho 14 (1609)
With the industrial policies of Lord Toshinaga Maeda,
And in the Horeki era (1751-1780), the introduction of bronze casting technology led to the production of Buddhist altar fittings, incense burners, and more.

Large castings such as temple bells and lanterns also began.
Since then, through technological advancements and improvements,
Its value as a dignified art and craft has been recognized both domestically and internationally,
And it has been designated as a traditional craft by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry.

This piece is by Yoshikatsu Nousaku, a renowned caster from Takaoka Copperware, and would make an excellent decorative item for your tokonoma (alcove).
