Meet the Artisan

Mizusawa Foundry Industry Cooperative Association

In November 1954, a group of passionate artisans came together to form the Mizusawa Foundry Industry Cooperative Association, dedicated to preserving and enriching the Nambu Tekki tradition. This cooperative became the lifeblood of small and medium-sized foundry businesses, fostering a sense of community and collaboration.

By pooling resources for joint product sales, bulk purchasing, and shared facilities, the association empowered its members to thrive in a competitive market. But beyond business support, the heart of the cooperative lay in nurturing artisans. Through comprehensive education and training programs, they ensured that future generations would master the intricate techniques of Nambu Tekki, safeguarding its cultural heritage.

One of the highlights of their efforts is the Oshu Nambu Tekki Festival, an annual celebration where local artisans showcase their exquisite work. This event not only promotes Nambu Tekki to a wider audience but also deepens appreciation for this unique craft.

Through unwavering commitment to quality, education, and community engagement, the Mizusawa Foundry Industry Cooperative Association keeps the Nambu Tekki tradition vibrant and relevant, ensuring it continues to enchant the world.
