Shape the spiral to suit each flower
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. Bend it by hand
Like Nousaku's KAGO baskets and chopstick rests, HOOP is made of tin soft enough to shape by hand. Stretch the spiral up for a tall stem, press it down for a short one, or pull it sideways to let a flower lean. Each bloom can be shown at its best.
2. Tin keeps flowers fresh
Tin has natural antibacterial properties. The water in a tin vase stays clean longer and stems get less slimy, so cut flowers last longer.
3. Three shapes
MARU (round), KAKU (square) and TAKAKU (hexagonal).

Care
- Tin is soft enough to bend by hand, but avoid bending the same spot over and over.
- Tin has a low melting point: do not use over a direct flame, in the microwave, dishwasher or dryer.
- Do not put it in the freezer. Extreme cold can cause "tin pest" (discoloration and deformation).
- Wash with a soft sponge and mild dish soap. Do not scrub with abrasive pads or cleanser.
- If the shine dulls, polish it with metal polish, toothpaste or baking soda.

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.
