Nosaku started manufacturing castings in 1916. At the beginning of its establishment, it mainly produced Buddhist utensils, tea sets, and vases. Around 1965, it was possible to produce a vase with a modern design, which was very popular. By 1985, the current president, Katsuji Nosaku, reformed and developed a series of new products based on years of experience and technology in casting. Later, the exhibition "Ring‧Lin‧Rin" held by "Nozuku" in Harajuku, Tokyo in 2001 attracted much attention, and established its image of contemporary and fashionable tinware products.

Takaoka City and Nosaku, Toyama Prefecture

Nosaku was founded in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture, and has passed down the craftsmanship and history of making metal products. The history of metalworking rooted in Takaoka began in Keicho 16 (1611), when Kaga domain lord Toshitsune Maeda summoned seven casters and attempted to establish a metalworking production center in the city. Since then, the industry has started from the production of iron pots and iron pots, and in the middle of the Edo period, it has been upgraded to refined copper alloy artistic bronze wares, tea utensils, flower vessels, Buddhist altar products, and Buddhist bells for temples. It has now become a metal Buddhist altar with a national share of more than 90%. Production center.

Casting Technology

To make Takaoka Copperware, you need to make a model first.
A mold is then made according to the shape of the model, and molten metal is poured into the mold. Finally, after casting, welding, grinding, gold carving and coloring and other decorations, it's done.

Every technique in the process requires superb professional skills, so the entire project is thoroughly divided, and full-time personnel are responsible for the implementation.
