Kanamori Alloy Co., Ltd.

Established in 1714, this is a long-established foundry company located in Kanazawa, Ishikawa, with its roots in the service of Maeda Toshinaga, the lord of the Kaga Domain.
We have inherited traditional sand casting that has continued since the Edo period, and metal refining technology that realizes the supply of materials for rocket parts. In 2019, we launched the lifestyle brand “KAMAHACHI,” which makes use of the functionality of the metal material itself and beautifully colors everyday scenes.

[Sign stand making experience]

Kanamori Alloy is a supplier for the Osaka-Kansai Expo Future Society Showcase Project and has installed a sign stand (information board) at the Future Life Village that utilizes and memorizes waste wood from the Noto Peninsula Earthquake disaster.

In this workshop, we offer two production plans.

1, Production of a miniature sign stand that expresses the texture of the sign stand installed at the venue 

2, Production of a cast magnet (a magnet that reproduces the part of a hot water outlet where metal is poured into a casting mold) utilized at the venue

■Select the product design you want to manufacture.

Miniature sign stand with clear card case: W50 x D50 x H28 mm 

Cast magnet: approx. W50 x D30 x H20 mm

■Under the guidance of a craftsman in the foundry, we will experience sand mold making together.

■We will observe the process of casting aluminum alloy melted at approximately 800°C. You can take the products home on the same day.

[Experience points]

・You can experience traditional sand casting that has been passed down since 1714.

・Utilize in-house metal refining, which supplies materials for rocket parts, and utilize aluminum plates used when printing newspapers as materials. You can observe the casting process where refining is performed at a high temperature of about 800℃.

・This project is linked to the sign stand at Future Life Village, Expo 2025 Kansai, Osaka, Japan. We hope you will visit the main unit at the venue.
