What is conifer cone's craftsmanship?
Manufacturing that can’t be found anywhere else.
Since 1919, Tanaka Bun Kinzoku has been manufacturing junou (a household/farm tool for carrying charcoal and ashes), and now plans, manufactures, and sells metal and resin products in Osaka, Japan. What has been important to them in their more than 100 years of manufacturing is to create things that cannot be found anywhere else.
