Copper Iron Bowl-Shaped Sansui Incense Burner ≫ ( Incense, Incense Sticks, Relaxation, Buddhist Supplies, Popular, Takaoka Copperware ) The birthplace of Takaoka copperware is Kanaya-machi, along the Senbori River. It is said to have begun in 1609 (Keicho 14), when Maeda Toshinaga, the second lord of the Kaga clan who built a castle in Takaoka, invited seven casters (imoji) from the surrounding area. Starting with the award of a merit prize to So-shichi Kanamori at the Vienna World's Fair in 1873 (Meiji 6), many master craftsmen received awards both domestically and internationally, and their elaborate style established a firm position in the world.
