“Suzugami”, which means “tin paper” in Japanese, literally is a new tin product that is as thin as paper and can be bent freely. Like as a dish plate, a flower vase and more of your own ideas of use, Suzugami can be anything.
By repeatedly hitting a rolled tin plate with a hammer, it not only gives a pattern but also has the strength to withstand repeated bending. “Suzugami” is a totally new sensation of tin that bends freely even though it is made of metal.
Variety of Ways to Use
Suzugami can be pretty much anything your need, such as dish plates, flower vases, coasters, and chopstick rests.
Bend Suzugami to your desired shape, just like paper.
Roll a pin over Suzugami to flatten.
Then Suzugami is back to be bendable again.
‘Suzugami’ is a tin product, which is thin like paper and freely malleable. By repeatedly hammering a rolled tin sheet, not only can it become patterned, but it gains a strength that has resistance to repeated bending. Want to easily bend metal to your desired shape? That is the novelty of suzugami.
