Passed down through the generations, raising is a form of forging where a flat sheet of metal is hammered repetitively. When force is applied the metal contracts and extends, which eventually rises to form the desired utensil. The traditional craft starts with a flat sheet of metal, without soldering, the technique calls for tremendous patience and an experienced mind to delicately shape. At this stage, the vessel has already metamorphosed into craft.

Pure tin is a precious metal that does not oxidize, used in traditional Asian cultures to purify water. In Japan, tin wares accentuates the smooth richness of spirits, oftentimes used to enjoy premium sake.
