Takaoka city in Toyama prefecture is a copper-producing region with the highest copperware shipments and sales in all of Japan. The production of copperware in Takaoka began approximately 400 years ago when the town was formed and has progressed together with the town ever since. Copper is used to make large castings such as the Great Buddha of Takaoka, the town’s symbol, as well as vases and Buddhist altar articles. Copperware is the product of several processes, namely mold-forming, casting, finishing and coloring, and each of these processes requires the skill of veteran craftsmen. Beautifully-shaped copperware products are the result of all these processes combined.
These wind chimes are made using Takaoka’s copperware-making techniques. Wind chimes are small bell-like objects which emit a sound using the power of the wind. This sound has a cooling effect and as such wind chimes have been a much-loved seasonal item since times of old. The clear, beautiful tone and sophisticated design of these wind chimes are filled with the simple, yet unmatchable skills of the craftsmen who make them.
