Born in 1955, Tanabe Kanagu has refined traditional metalwork into sleek, functional design. The shoehorn harnesses pure brass or copper, polished or given a natural patina, to reveal the warm luster and natural antimicrobial properties of the metals.
Their hand-finished, hammered tin and gold sake cups keep your drink ice cold and impart no flavor or impurities, allowing you to enjoy the pure, natural flavor of the sake. Their elegant, chopstick rests, copper pots, and other unique and high-class copper, brass, gold and bronze items will elevate your home with pure Made in Japan quality.
