The history of "decorative metal fittings" dates back to the distant Asuka period. We have transformed its elegant beauty into earrings. After pressing copper plates to bring out intricate raised patterns, a finish is applied to maintain its shine. Cloisonné, yoraku (ornamental necklaces), and arabesque patterns are auspicious motifs that represent the wishes of people of ancient times. They are sure to make you stand taller and more confident.
What are the decorative metal fittings that adorn the oldest artifacts?
Metalwork ornaments have been used to decorate and protect temples, shrines, and portable shrines. They were even used in the Horyuji Temple's main hall, Japan's oldest wooden structure. The metalwork ornaments on these ear accessories are manufactured by Takeuchi Metalworks (Takeuchi Co., Ltd.) in Kyoto. Since its establishment in 1967, the company has cherished the production of original plates by hand.
