FUTAGAMI's original composition of "Lead-Free-Brass" material is used in the cutlery series, and the material workability, strength, and color are controlled properly. The silver coated head part of the cutlery, which would be put in one's mouth, has been proven antibacterial and has no metallic taste or smell, but is hygienic and beautiful coating.

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.
