Using over the wall

Copper has been used since the prehistoric age in Japan. Using copper for Buddhist statues and instruments, the technology of refining and casting copper has been improved. The brand of copper products called Tone is also originated from the production of Buddhist instruments in Toyama prefecture.

Traditional technique of coloring copper

The great feature of Tone's copperware is its color. The products are not dyed, but chemical reactions of copper create unique colors. This valuable technique of coloring copper has been passed down in the company for a long time to keep its beauty.

ON THE WALL - COPPER FLOWER VASE is a flower vase used over the wall. Since it does not need to place on a table, you can use it in a small space. It looks like a flower blooms from a copper plate. There is a removable glass tube on the back where you can put water and flowers. The flower vase would be a unique gift of housewarming.

Copperware for daily life

The copperware made in Takaoka city of Toyama prefecture is called Takaoka Douki. The industry of Takaoka Douki lasts over 400 years. It started when Maeda Toshinaga, the second early-Edo period daimyo of Kaga Domain invited casting craftsman.

The brand of Tone is originated from Momentum Factory Orii, the manufacture of coloring copperware in Takaoka city founded in 1950. Orii is one of the factories in the division of labor of Takaoka Douki, specialized in coloring. In order to create new copperware using coloring technique, the brand of Tone has begun. The brand suggests daily products made of copper.
