KUON — a calm sky, cast in Takaoka.
The Story
Yotsukawa Seisakusho has worked copper in Takaoka’s old foundry district since 1946. KUON is its quieter side: bells to begin a meditation, holders for incense and candlelight, shaped and finished by hand with the town’s specialist artisans.

Are KUON pieces handmade?

Yes, through the LoftModern Trade Program.
