Bronze objets by Otera Kohachiro Shoten, whose Mini Eto Series are very popular. The series includes the wild boar, which weighs almost 20 times as much as the Mini Eto Series' one, and the very cute cat and mouse with black and Siamese coloring. Monkey's Paw Hook has also been added.
In order to make the most of the lines and style of Yusuke Hayashi's designs, the objets are made by lost-wax precision casting, a process that has been used for casting Buddhist statues since ancient times. These bronze objets are the culmination of Takaoka copperware's traditional techniques.
I love the items and really like shopping at your store.
Have been a repeating customer and I am sure I will come back again, for the vast and wonderful selection of Japanese products and fixed shipping charge.
Really appreciate the craftsmanship of Japanese shokunin and thank you so much for bringing them for easy access outside Japan.
The items from Otera Kohachiro Shoten are very well made with subtly cute design which can be enjoyed for years.
The wind bell from Rikucho Ogasawara is stylist and makes lovely sound.
Wish your company every success!

After turning the body into dark brown color, utilizing the method called "niiro," where the body is colored by stewing it in a liquid composed of copper sulfate and verdigris, it is colored using a brush to emphasize its cubic effect. The nose part is cut out using paint thinner and sandpaper, and the production completes by finally coloring it again.
