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 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.
