This is a chopstick rest designed in the shape of the number 8.

While regular tin products add other metals to increase hardness, Nousaku uses pure tin without any additives, maximizing the inherent qualities of tin.
It is recommended not only as a chopstick rest but also as a card holder.

The Chinese character 八 (eight) is considered auspicious because it widens towards the end, making this product popular for wedding gifts.

Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture, has a history of over 400 years since the Edo period. Nousaku was founded in this traditional casting town as a factory manufacturing Buddhist altar fittings. Since then, for over 100 years, we have continued to pursue manufacturing that responds to customer needs while transforming our production system and expanding our business scope and areas. With a proactive and bold approach that breaks free from conventional thinking, we fuse our continuously inherited techniques with sensibilities that reflect the times, continuing to forge new paths in the casting industry.

Tin is a precious metal, second only to gold and silver. It has excellent antibacterial properties and ionic effects, such as preventing water from becoming stale and mellowing the flavor of sake, and has been used as a material for tea and sake vessels since ancient times. 100% tin is very soft and can be easily bent by hand, depending on the shape.
