Shuseidou

Shuseidou's journey begins from the Takaoka merchant era when first-generation president Hideyasu Nakajima carried copperware to sell. Starting from commerce of the ground up, the name "Shuseidou" was given with the meaning "Shu-san does honest business." Since then, the shop has cherished delivering copperware with sincerity and pride in the Takaoka copperware producing region.

Proudly noting that the copper products currently occupying about 90% of national production are made by artisans' hands in Takaoka, the shop carefully conveys — on the company overview and "About Takaoka Copperware" page — the thought "metal that should be cold is reborn into soft forms by passing through many artisan hands — becoming world-renowned Takaoka art copperware."

Representative director Norimi Nakajima, leveraging the Buddhist Ceremony Coordinator qualification, develops services including Buddhist altar/tool coordination and delivery/installation. Regardless of religion, the shop proposes matching customer wishes — from traditional styles to modern designs.

The online shop and product pamphlets widely list altar tools, vases, wind chimes, iron kettles, tin products, tableware, gift items, and more. In recent years, items focused on food and living have also increased — the original cast iron tableware "Miss Iron" series and "Shaker Mill" — and through craft fair and exhibition participation, the shop continues to create new encounters.

Shuseidou is a specialty shop selling — centered on Takaoka copperware — ironware, art objects, religious tools, lacquerware, aluminum vessels, and gift catalog products. Starting with Buddhist vases and altar tools, the shop proposes metal craft items matched to use and scene — wind chimes, vases, iron kettles, tin products, tableware, and more.

The "Takaoka merchant" spirit of the first-generation president who carried copperware to sell

The company name "Shuseidou" was born from the thought "Shu-san does honest business." Without forgetting the spirit of Takaoka merchants from when first-generation Hideyasu Nakajima carried copperware to sell from the ground up — and the message of wanting to be associated with for a long time as "Shu-chan, the copperware shop of Takaoka" — is woven into the greeting on the company overview.

Representative director Norimi Nakajima passed Japan's first Buddhist Ceremony Coordinator qualification exam. Regardless of religious sect, the shop responds to wide-ranging wishes — from traditional Buddhist altars and tools to modern and innovative styles — providing total Buddhist ceremony coordination including delivery and installation.
