Takaoka copperware with a history of 400 years

Shojin Kaba was born in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture, a town of casting technology with a history of about 400 years. Takaoka supports 90% of Japan's copperware production, and various items are made from small items such as indoor ornaments, Buddhist altar fittings, and flower vases to large items such as Buddhist statues and bronze statues. Takaoka copperware is characterized by the use of "casting technology" that makes full use of the skilled craftsmanship of craftsmen and "processing technology" such as polishing, engraving, and inlaying. The fusion of these techniques has produced rich expressions and has continued to be evaluated both domestically and internationally. The strength, delicacy, and flexibility of Takaoka Copperware attracts the hearts of those who see it.

With the deep taste of copper

The bookcase cover, which has been used for many years and has a deep taste like an antique work of art, is carefully made one by one by Takaoka craftsmen. The fine and smooth texture that is unique to copper matches the shape of the cover, giving you the impression that it is about to start moving at any moment. Even so, the eyes and mouth seem to smile gently, and the more you use it, the more you will fall in love with it. One of the reasons why you want to continue to use it carefully is that it changes to a deeper texture over time.

Kaba is not only a paperweight, but it is also nice to keep around your desk as an interior decoration. It comes in an easy-to-gift box, so you can give it as a birthday present or as a thank-you gift to someone who took care of you.
