【Takaoka Copperware】 The birthplace of Takaoka Copperware is Kanayamachi, along the Senbori River. It is said to have begun in 1609 (Keicho 14), when Maeda Toshinaga, the second lord of the Kaga domain who built a castle in Takaoka, invited seven casters (imoji) from the surrounding area. Starting with Mori Shoshichi's award at the Vienna World Exposition in 1873, many master craftsmen received awards both domestically and internationally, and their elaborate style established a firm position in the world.
