    The history of Takaoka copperware began when the second lord of the Kaga domain, Maeda Toshinaga, founded the town of Takaoka. He invited seven copper craftsmen from the western metalworkers' district in Tonami village to come to Takaoka and gave them special protections.
　This was the beginning of the metalworkers' district, Kanayamachi, in Takaoka.
　At first, they primarily produced daily goods like pots and pans, or farm implements like shovels and plows.
　Starting in the mid-Edo period, the copperware industry was flourishing, and even regular households were able to purchase Buddhist goods.
　In the late Edo period, the wholesale distribution system developed, and things like charcoal braziers and vases became even more accessible to the general public.
　Takaoka copperware spread throughout the country.
