Introduction Known as the most expensive metal after gold and silver, tin is very malleable and flexible. Though having nearly the whiteness of silver, it does not rust easily nor will air tarnish it readily. It is significantly antibacterial, and also known as a material with low allergic reactivity and high heat conductivity.
NOUSAKU uses pure tin. It is common to add other metallic materials to provide durability and facilitate cutting work, but NOUSAKU uses tin without such additives. Accumulated experience of skilled craftsmen enables us to produce these unique pieces. The piece is also special for its finishing. The inner side of this item is gilded; a collaborative manufacturing between craftsmen of gold leaf at Kanazawa, Ishikawa prefecture. In 5 designs: Naucissus W40 /Japanese plum W43 /Poinsettia W50 /Cosmos W38 /Sunflower:W40 Also preferred as gift (supplied in a box of paulownia wood).
[Maintenance / Directions for use]
-Wipe with a soft cloth after use.
-Do not scratch with hard brushes.
-Polish with common metal polishers, tooth paste, or baking soda to restore the shine. (Avoid pin from getting wet.)
-Do not use over a flame, as they have low melting points.
