Over time, oxidation changes the color of the metal: the longer brass objects are used, the richer and finer the surface becomes.

Masanori Oji, a designer and architect born in Hiroshima, creates timeless everyday objects using traditional Japanese craftsmanship.

The brass foundry Futagami was founded in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture, in 1897. In Japan, brass was mainly used for metal fittings in furniture making, architecture, shipbuilding, as well as in arts and crafts or even for Buddhist altar furnishings.
