The History of KAZARINO
Kazarikanagu Takeuchi, the company behind KAZARINO, was founded in Kyoto in 1967 as a manufacturer of traditional Japanese lanterns (toro).
Today, the company primarily produces beautiful decorative metal fittings found in temples and shrines, as well as Buddhist altar fittings and ornaments.
By combining the craftsmanship of highly experienced artisans with modern manufacturing technology, the company consistently delivers high-quality products while preserving the natural warmth and character of traditional hand-carved metalwork.
KAZARINO products are born from this unique combination of skilled craftsmanship and advanced manufacturing techniques, developed through decades of experience at Kazarikanagu Takeuchi.

The Origin of the Name KAZARINO
While traditional Kazarikanagu (decorative metal fittings) is admired for its beauty, its applications have historically been limited.
KAZARINO was established with the desire to bring this remarkable traditional craftsmanship into modern everyday life and explore new possibilities for its use.
The name KAZARINO reflects this strong determination.

The Japanese kanji character "之" carries meanings such as "to move forward," "to go," and "to reach a destination."
This single character embodies the brand's firm commitment to moving steadily toward its dream of "bringing happiness to people through Kazarikanagu craftsmanship" and "pioneering new possibilities for traditional decorative metalwork."

Another reason for choosing this name is that "之" can be read as "no," just like the Japanese hiragana character "の," which connects words in a way similar to "of" in English.
This reading naturally conveys KAZARINO's philosophy of creating innovative products by applying the traditional techniques of Kazarikanagu craftsmanship in new and meaningful ways.

Kazarikanagu (decorative metal fittings) are traditional Japanese metal ornaments used to beautifully adorn temples, shrines, Buddhist altars, and portable shrines (mikoshi).
They have played an important role in Japanese culture since ancient times and can even be found in the Golden Hall (Kondo) of Horyuji Temple, one of the world's oldest surviving wooden buildings.

The Beauty and Function of Kazarikanagu
Characterized by intricate and elegant decorative designs, Kazarikanagu enhances the beauty of the structures and objects it adorns.
Beyond their decorative appeal, these metal fittings also serve practical purposes, helping to reinforce and protect buildings and other structures

How Is Kazarikanagu Made?
The main materials used are copper and brass sheets.
These metals are carefully shaped using traditional techniques such as carving, cutting, hammering, and bending. Finally, a metal plating is applied to give the finished pieces their distinctive luster and durability.
