A phantasmagoric vessel that could be bent and lengthen.
Have you ever seen such a vessel? It truly is a masterpiece that the fine, traditional techniques of casting and the novel design have formed.
Although 100% pure tin is normally used by increasing its hardness as it's initially very soft, Nousaku, in contrary, uses tin's characteristic at its best, which is how the "Bending Vessel" was created.
Try making your own vessel using your free imagination. The form of the vessel can be changed according to what the users would like to put in, which is why it is so convenient and why people are strongly attached to the vessel.
It is epoch-making tableware whose originality has been regarded by both European and American customers.
Please observe the bending in a wobbly manner. The creaking sound is the noise of tin molecules rubbing against each other, known as "tin cry."
