4.5

This metal casting shop has over a hundred years of history, since its founder Risaburo began green sand casting processes here near the beginning of the Meiji period. They continue making each piece one by one by hand, preserving traditional techniques while adding new ideas. They make a wide variety of popular items, including tea ceremony items, wine buckets, flower vases, door handles, trinkets and more. You can also try metal casting yourself, and make things like windchimes, paper weights, chopstick rests, magnets and so on.

30年ぶりに高岡を訪問。当時購入した青銅文鎮シリーズを探して同店を訪問。大女将に暖かいおもてなしを受けました。当時購入した文鎮シリーズの作者、製造工房は既に廃業されていることを教えていただき、代わりに素敵な花瓶を頂きました。よい思い出を作らせていただ器、ありがとうございました。
