[LARGE PLATE (PLATTER)] KAGO --SQUARE L | TAKAOKA BRONZE CASTING

Characteristics of the basket1

Interior items utilizing the properties of tin

Since the Edo period, Takaoka's cast metal has carved a history of more than 400 years. This 100% tin basket is made in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture, the largest casting town in Japan. It is produced by Nousaku, a brand that produces items brimming with originality.

Tin has the property of being very soft. Normally, other metals are added to increase hardness, but this basket is made of 100% tin. This basket is an interior item that makes the most of its softness.

Characteristics of the basket 2

Transforms freely! Modern geometric design

The baskets made by Nosaku's advanced casting technology can be bent and shaped freely. When pushed by hand, the basket will bend with a creaking sound, but this is a phenomenon unique to tin, called tin-naraki. There is no need to panic.

It can be easily returned to its original flat state, so it can be used in a variety of ways, depending on your ideas. Above all, the charm of this basket is that you can enjoy the pleasure of creating with your own sense of style.

The geometric pattern-like design has a clean, uncluttered look. The beautiful silvery-white color unique to tin also creates a sophisticated atmosphere. It goes well with simple modern interiors and spaces.

Characteristics of the basket 3

Usage depends on your ideas.

It is very convenient to change the height and depth depending on what you put in. This square type can be heightened, making it easy to put in unstable items that are difficult to stand on their own.

It can be placed on a counter in the kitchen or living room to hold fruit or bread, or used as a wine stand for guests. It can be flattened and used as an interior mat, or used as a vase stand with your usual vases in it.

Just imagining it is a pleasure. The secret to its ease of use is its simple appearance and neatness, thanks to its elegant silver color.

Details of the basket

Rust-resistant and tarnish-resistant tin

Rust and deterioration are concerns with metal products. Among metals, tin has stable properties and is resistant to rust and discoloration. Therefore, it can be used in the kitchen and other areas without worry.

To clean, simply wash with a soft sponge using a mild detergent and blow up as you would dishes. No special care is required.

When flattened, it measures approximately 25 cm in both width and depth, and the outermost frame can be pushed up to provide sufficient height for storing large items.
