Takaoka Copperware
The history of Takaoka copperware began in 1609 when the second lord of the Kaga domain, Maeda Toshinaga, founded the town of Takaoka. He invited seven copper craftsmen from the western metalworkers' district in Tonami village to come to Takaoka and gave them special protections.
This was the beginning of the metalworkers' district, Kanayamachi, in Takaoka.
