Production of Japan wax resumed at Tsurukame Kita Factory
The predecessor of our factory was the prestigious Kita Wax Works, which was founded in 1919 in Nagahama, Ozu, Ehime Prefecture. Although the company went out of business in 2012, our president, Taizo Noda, believed that ``for the future development of the Japanese wax industry, we should never eliminate good rivals,'' so he bought the company and restarted production of Japan wax , regardless of profit or loss. .

The Tsurukame Kita Factory has Japan's oldest operating smoke tube boiler, which continues to be used with care using traditional eco-energy manufacturing methods, and many people from within the prefecture as well as from Tokyo come to see it with curiosity. I am visiting.
The ashes of haze-no-mi after being burned in an eco-boiler are used as a new material.glazeAs a result of the Hanasaki Kajijii Project, a collaboration with female traditional craftsmen from Kyushu, we are creating new colors for beautiful pottery.
