Metal Craftman Takuji Horie
From Japan, meet a veteran, metal man, and tumbler designer Takuji Horie, whose curiosity, determination, and specialized metal-work skills combined to create vivid, living colors from Titantium!
Titanium might not seem like a very "romantic" material, but it has some very unique, aesthetic qualities. Long used in the medical industry, it turns out that this metal is not only antibacterial, extremely strong yet lightweight but it ALSO has the mysterious ability to reflect light to "magically" color!
Mr. Horie continues to be the only metal-craft company in the world to have mastered this difficult, color-by-light technology consistently and with precision. As Mr. Horie himself often says "the only one!"
