[Tsubame City, Niigata Prefecture: A Metalworking Region Japan Proud of]
While Niigata Prefecture is known for rice cultivation, Tsubame was plagued by frequent flooding of the Shinano River, necessitating alternative livelihoods.
Fortunately, the area was rich in mineral resources, and charcoal for fuel was easily obtainable from its vast forests, leading to a flourishing blacksmithing industry.
During the Edo period, the production of Japanese nails was encouraged as a side business for farmers, and the industry expanded due to a surge in demand following major fires in Edo.
In the Meiji era, the demand for Japanese nails decreased, and the industry diversified by applying the techniques of Japanese nails and hammered copperware to produce pipes, files, and Western-style tableware.
[HORIE Titanium Double-Walled Tumblers]
Founded in 1984 in Tsubame City, Niigata Prefecture, HORIE's titanium double-walled tumblers, which have been sold only in a limited number of department stores,
create an air layer by welding the cup in two layers using a special processing technique. This creates an invisible wall, resulting in excellent heat and cold retention. HORIE has masterfully processed titanium, a material considered impossible to work with compared to stainless steel, achieving an extremely thin rim of just 0.7mm, resulting in an incredibly smooth drinking experience.
HORIE, possessing unparalleled knowledge and technology in titanium, is active globally, having worked on projects such as the London Olympic monument.
Since 2019, they have established a New York branch, and further growth is expected.
