NAGAE+ history
NAGAE+ Our company is deeply rooted in Takaoka-shi, Toyama, a city that has a rich history of metalwork craftsmanship dating back over 400 years.

Takaoka flourished as a centre for copperware production, supported by the Kaga Domain, the largest clan under the Edo government. NAGAE+ is proud to be a part of this tradition. We hold a strong commitment to maintaining the balance between precision and creativity in our products and in our approach. At the heart of our philosophy is the craftsmanship that drives us.

We bring together the elements of “materials,” “design,” “manufacturing, ” and “users” to create exceptional products.

Our goal is to collaborate with our customers and co-create value that goes beyond mere functionality.
Tin plate
A flexible tin dish that can be gently bent by hand to suit various uses. Its soft texture and minimal design make it a versatile accent for any interior.

Poly incense holder
A geometric incense holder made of raw bronze or brass, compatible with both bamboo incenses and incense sticks. Designed as a regular icosahedron, it can be positioned at three angles depending on the incense length. The uncoated metal develops a rich patina over time.

Oya incense set
A refined incense set featuring a bronze or brass incense holder paired with a plate made of Oya stone—a unique tuff stone found only in the Oya region of Tochigi Prefecture. Known for its excellent heat resistance and rustic texture, this set offers both elegance and functionality.
