Good time tools for Two

Tools that make time enjoyable for us

A collection of tools that draw on a century of heritage, the “Centennial Collection” presents lifestyle tools for the next generation. The collection is based on the theme of creating “heirlooms that enable the enjoyment, sustenance and continuation of a cultured lifestyle”. Unlike tools that are mass-produced for mass-consumption, the tools in this collection are all limited editions designed for longevity and to suit the needs of the individual. As such they have been designed as tools that mirror the characteristics of the individual and appeal to his sense of value. They are tools that will be treasured, and can be given as gifts that will be admired for their craftsmanship, tools that express the charm and vibrant culture of Niigata and help create a support system for an enhanced lifestyle.
