Japanese Sand Casting: A 300-Year Heritage of Sustainable Craft

This piece is crafted by a foundry with a legacy spanning over 300 years since the Edo period. They have mastered "Sunagata-chuzo," or sand casting, a traditional Japanese technique where metal melted at 1200°C is poured into sand molds. While their exceptional craftsmanship is trusted for manufacturing cutting-edge rocket components, they also embrace a circular production model that recycles materials, showing deep consideration for the future. Each creation is infused with the enduring spirit of Japanese tradition, innovation, and sustainability.

KANAMORI ALLOY: A 300-Year Legacy, from Rocket Science to Ikebana Vase

With a legacy spanning over 300 years since 1714, KANAMORI ALLOY, now in its 23rd generation, has a history intertwined with traditional sand casting. Remarkably, this same precision technology supplies materials for Japan's H-IIA rocket. This space-grade precision is masterfully transformed into beautiful crafts, Japanese vases, and innovative kenzan that elevate the art of ikebana. KANAMORI ALLOY is also committed to a circular society, upcycling used metals into high-purity aluminum products through their in-house refining process. It is a philosophy where tradition, innovation, and sustainability merge to craft a legacy for the future.
