MATERIALS – The products of NOUSAKU are made of pure tin 100%, brass and bronze. Some of them are decorated by the gold leaf – tradition of Japan.  

• PURE TIN 100% - due to the experience and knowledges of our craftsmen, NOUSAKU is able to produce the objects of pure tin 100%. Thanks to its flessibility the tin can be shaped by the hands. While modeling the tin you can hear a special sound which is called “tin cry”. One of the many characteristics of the tin is that it absorbs impurity. For this reason the water in the tin cup can not be spoiled and it enhances the flavor of sake as well. Though tin has almost the same whiteness as the silver, but it doesn’t dim so easily in the contact with the air. Tin has also antibacterial properties and high thermal coductivity. It is enough to put the plate into the refrigerator for several minutes and it will remain cool for long period.  
• BRASS – the products of NOUSAKU in brass are made with different finishing and have raw, polished and mat surfaces. Each object is a hand made one.
• BRONZE – The statue of Great Buddha in Nara and the statue of Peace in Nagasaki were made with the bronze, the material, which Japanese like a lot. We use bronze to produce the modern serie of Moss Bonsai and for various products upon personal design and request.
