'Creating beautiful, high-quality products with ingenuity'

Takaoka City in Toyama Prefecture has a rich tradition of craftsmanship that spans over 400 years. The Kanaya-machi district, the birthplace of the famous Takaoka copperware, is home to Yotsukawa Seisakusho, a renowned copperware manufacturer that has been in business for generations. Under the trade name KISEN, the company designs, creates, and sells various metal craft items that enrich daily life. The trade name 'KISEN,' passed down since the founding of the company, embodies the commitment to bringing joy and enrichment to people's lives - a sentiment that continues to inspire all their products.

Amid significant changes in people's lives during the period of rapid economic growth, Yotsukawa Seisakusho upheld its commitment to excellence in manufacturing and dedication to craftsmanship. The founding belief in 'creating beautiful, high-quality products with ingenuity' has been passed down to the third generation, represented by the two brothers, President Motomasa and Executive Director Susumu.

Innovative Products Blending Tradition and Technology

KISEN is a Takaoka copperware brand that caters to modern lifestyles. Following the societal shifts after Japan's economic bubble burst in the early 1990s, Yotsukawa Seisakusho explored the potential of Takaoka copperware not just as decorative items but for everyday use. By blending tradition and technology with creative ideas, KISEN products utilize metals in innovative ways, offering excitement and new value.

Drawing on their deep understanding of local production capabilities and metal characteristics, brothers Motomasa and Susumu have led projects where Susumu himself designs the new products. One of his creation, the 'Guinomi Sake Cup.'
is now one of their flagship products.
