A slender wind chime with a clear brass tone
About Nousaku
Nousaku (能作) is a foundry founded in 1916 in Takaoka, Toyama, a city whose metal-casting tradition goes back some 400 years. It began by making Buddhist altar fittings and now uses the same casting skills to create tableware and interior pieces in brass and pure tin. Every design starts from the material itself, and each piece is finished by hand by Nousaku's craftspeople.
1. Cast in Takaoka, finished by hand
The Slim chime is made with the casting and metalworking techniques of Takaoka, in a simple teardrop form that suits today's homes. To bring out the beauty of the metal, each one is turned and finished by hand on a lathe.
2. The clear tone of brass
A Japanese wind chime, or furin, is hung by an open window so the breeze can ring it. Nousaku stripped away everything unnecessary so that nothing gets in the way of the clear, lingering tone of brass: a chime to enjoy with both eyes and ears.
3. Three finishes
Choose gold (clear-coated brass), silver (silver-plated) or pink gold (copper-plated). Each chime arrives in a Nousaku gift box.

도야마현 다카오카
400년 주조 역사를 지닌 다카오카에서 1916년에 창업한 노사쿠는 불단 장식 금구 제작으로 시작했습니다. 오늘날에는 주석과 황동을 주조해 식기, 풍경, 인테리어 소품을 만들며, "더 좋은 주물을, 제대로 만든다"는 단순한 목표를 지켜 가고 있습니다.
