The beautiful pattern on the surface is called TSUCHIME, means hammered pattern and was originally done by hand with hammer by craftsmen. Copperware made in this way became a true craft, not only functional but also beautiful to look at. The patterns on the surface are elegant, and the color changes as it is used, making it unique and one-of-a-kind. This traditional technique was reproduced by craftsmen using molds so that the copperware can be processed by modern machines. What used to take a tremendous amount of time, tens of thousands of hammering, can now be crafted in an affordable amount of time. The colors are applied using the traditional craft of hammered copperware coloring technique, in which the pieces are dipped in a coloring solution. SHAKUDOH (it means Red copper in Japanese) finish is a unique finishing method that is the result of many years of research by skilled craftsmen in the traditional technique of coloring.

Copper is oxidized when it is touched or held in the hands, and as a result, the tint and texture changes day by day. Please enjoy the change of color, a feature of the natural copper itself.
