Koizumi Seisakusho
This is a new type of wind bell that can be placed on a tabletop and does not require a place to hang it. It plays a cool sound while swaying in the wind. With its simple design, it fits easily into any interior, and can be used by enjoying the sound of the wind chime on a window sill or desk where the wind blows, or by placing it on your desk and ringing it with your hand.
"Koizumiya" is the original brand by Koizumi Seisakusho.
With the theme of pleasant, resonant tones, we create handcrafted metal crafts using materials such as brass and bronze.
Blending sound and design, each piece is carefully made by skilled artisans to bring a touch of color and calm to everyday life. We invite you to enjoy this harmonious fusion.
Koizumi Manufacturing Co., Ltd. specializes in casting and processing copper alloy products, including Buddhist altar fittings, acoustic crafts, precision valves, and mechanical parts. Among these, we excel in developing acoustic craft products, striving to maximize the attractive tones of metals.
We are also involved in cultural heritage restoration. In 2007, we contributed to the restoration of the bell at Antoni Gaudíʼs "Gate of the Dragon" at Güell Pavilions (Spain), and in 2010, we worked on the restoration of the"Liberty Bell" in Hibiya Park (Tokyo).With the desire to bring color and comfort to everyday life through our products, we launched our original brand "Koizumiya" in 2012, featuring items focused on "pleasant sound."
Takaoka City in Toyama Prefecture is known for its thriving metal casting industry, represented by the traditional craft of Takaoka Douki (Takaoka copperware).
The history of Takaoka Douki dates back over 400 years to 1609, when the second lord of the Kaga Domain, Maeda Toshinaga, invited seven metal casters to the Kanaya district of Takaoka in order to promote prosperity as he built Takaoka Castle.
Since then, a wide variety of metal crafts have been produced in Takaoka, including ornaments, Buddhist altar fittings, temple bells, and bronze statues.
During the Meiji period, Takaoka Douki gained international recognition for its advanced techniques at world expositions held in Europe, leading to further development.
The skills and spirit that have been passed down through generations in Takaoka Douki embody the wisdom and ingenuity of craftsmanship. Even today, artisans continue to carry this legacy forward, adapting its value to modern life.
