The piece that is created is made to be the same,
but remains unique in its own way.
Eventually it will find a home

continue to grow more unique by the
touch of the hands that use it.

We hammer today because of
those who have come before us,
and the life we create is shaped
by the knowledge passed down
through the generations.

But that life is left incomplete without

It is our sincerest hope that,
upon taking our Gyokusendo copperware into your hands and when you use it every day thereafter,
you are able to envision its shining form one hundred years into the future.
