FUTAGAMI Brass Tool Holder

Designed by Masanori Oji and made by Futagami, Japan.

Founded in 1897, FUTAGAMI has a long history of making brass artifacts used in the Buddhist traditions. Brass products gradually change their colour over the course of many years dues to oxidisation. The longer they are used, the richer they become.

Having a low center of gravity, it won't fall even lots of tall tools like ladles, cutleries, chopsticks, etc. are placed in it. The inner surface is lined with tin. The bottom part is lined with silicone so that it won't damage the surface on which the tool holder is placed. Also, can be used as a flower vase or a pen holder.

"Futagami," a brass foundry founded in the city of Takaoka, Toyama Pref., Japan in 1897 launched a brass livingware brand named "FUTAGAMI."

Brass has long been used in various fields such as metal fittings for architecture, ships, and furniture as it has corrosion resistance property and moderate workability.

It has a long history as a material for arts and crafts or Buddhist altar equipment as its texture is gentle with an elegant luster.

Brass products gradually change their color over the course of many years due to oxidization. The longer they are used, the richer and subtler they become, dissolving into the human heart and the environment.

Enjoy this loving, brass livingware for many years to come.
