Futagami is a brass lifestyle brand launched in 2009 by Futagami Co., Ltd., a foundry established in 1897, together with designer Masanori Oji.
Takaoka copperware is a traditional craft that has been handed down in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture, for approximately 400 years. Brass has been used in a variety of fields, including architectural hardware, ship fittings, and furniture fittings. It also has a long history as a material for arts and crafts and Buddhist altar fittings because of the soft texture and elegant luster of the material.
The more you use brass, the more its surface oxidizes and develops a unique flavor, making it a material that will fit in with your daily life over time. Why don't you feel the desire to cherish and watch over it like a treasure that has been by your side since childhood, as time passes?
You may wonder if it could be worth it to pay quite a lot for a kitchen paper holder. Well, yes it could and I will tell you why. The one I just got from Shokunin exceeds expectations in several ways and is definitely worth the price. First, it is beautiful, even more so than in the pictures. Second, it is heavy, as it should be so you can pull off a piece of paper with one hand. Third, it will obviously last forever and will be the last kitchen paper holder I will ever need to buy. Fourth...well, the fourth reason is that it re-confirms my confidence in Shokunin, which offers so many products that are well-made and beautiful and that perform their functions extremely well. I recommend this kitchen paper holder without reservations of any kind!

This is a kitchen paper holder with cast brass surface. The weight characteristic of cast metal makes it possible to cut off the kitchen paper with one hand. It can also be easily carried with one hand by holding the arm at the top. Replacing kitchen paper is very easy, as all you have to do is lift up the holder and insert the paper from the side.
