Metalworking in Japan began during the Yayoi period with techniques introduced from China and Korea, leading to the use of bronze and iron for weapons, tools, and ornaments. Over time, Japanese artisans refined forging, casting, and coloring techniques, especially for samurai swords, Buddhist statues, and interior elements. With materials like copper, silver, stainless steel, and titanium, modern metalwork blends tradition with innovation. Its strength, fire resistance, and refined finish make it ideal for high-quality, durable interior applications.
