| About | Founded by Toshinaga Maeda, lord of the Kaga Clan, in Toyama Prefecture in 1609, Takaoka City has a built a reputation as a center of industry. NOUSAKU began manufacturing Buddhist altar fittings in 1916, using casting techniques handed down over four hundred years in Takaoka. Casting is a method of making products by pouring molten metal into a mold, resulting in metal products known as imono (cast metal products). Each NOUSAKU product is made using advanced techniques, and has been hand finished one by one, by the craftsmen to a very high standard. Employing casting methods and metals (such as tin, brass, bronze, and aluminum) selected to suit the purpose and the product, we create products with an superbly unique texture. In our earliest days, NOUSAKU made Buddhist altar fittings, tea sets, and flower vases, later adding tableware, interior products, and construction metals to its lineup. We continue to preserve the values of Takaoka Copper as traditional craft. |
