About Sakasa Fuji
The phenomenon of "Sakasa Fuji" (逆さ富士), or the 'Inverted Fuji,' is more than just a beautiful reflection; it is a profound cultural symbol of perfection, tranquility, and fortune. This breathtaking image, where a flawless mirror image of Mount Fuji appears on the still surface of one of the Fuji Five Lakes, represents a perfect union of heaven and earth. To witness Sakasa Fuji, the conditions must be immaculate: a cloudless sky, windless air to create a glassy water surface, and clear visibility, making a true sighting an exceptionally rare and lucky event. This elusiveness has elevated its status, transforming it from a mere landscape into a revered subject in Japanese art for centuries.

TOYAMA PERFECTURE
As the second-largest city in Toyama Prefecture, Takaoka is a major manufacturing hub on the Sea of Japan with deep historical roots.
Originally founded as the castle town for Maeda Toshinaga, the second lord of the powerful Kaga Domain, it later flourished as a center for commerce and industry. This development led to its renown for traditional crafts, especially Takaoka copperware.

TAKAOKA COPPERWARE
Takaoka copperware is defined by its mastery of metal casting (鋳金, chūkin). However, what truly elevates Takaoka's technique is the finishing process, a collaborative effort among specialized craftsmen who meticulously polish, engrave, and apply unique, traditional patination techniques to create an extraordinary range of deep, nuanced colors on the metal's surface, turning each cast object into a singular work of art.
