Tiles Features
Excellent stability against heat,weather and chemicals.long life.
In addition to Roofs, our tiles can create original design features for your Interior,Exterior and Landscape arrangement.
All tiles are fired at our factory with our state of the Art kilm.
In collaboration with Gifu Prefectural Ceramics Research Institute.
For Nameplate, anniversary or memorial plate, monument etc.
Erathquake and Resistance Roofing Method
We create secure and safe roofs.The peak, “ridge”(mune in Japanese) is the weak point of tiled roofs.
Earthquakes, typhoons and heavy snows, easily damage the Mune.
However the Mune represents the Japanese tiled roof culture, and integrates the skills and regional characteristics. This is the culture that we want to take into the future.

| Goal for Invention | Previous ridge construction method of Japanese style wooden house. Good point: Architectural: Design improved the beauty of roof. Bad point: Weak earthquake resistance because of heaviness of the ridge and If the bonded metal line broke, it will have a high percentage of collapse. The goal will solve both problems and maintain the architectural beauty in this completely new method for Ridge Construction. |
Award
2007 District Leader Award of the Chubu District - Invention Honor
Reform examples
We actively research, educate and train our skills and knowledge for producing a unique and lasting roof while maintaining the beauty of that roof’s environment.
We can remake an entire house with our cultivated building skills while promoting an ideal reform with a solid foundation that has no waste or need for repeated restructure.

Solar energy
Current fashionable flat tile (western tile) unites with solar light power.
Advantage
1.The New style Solar energy Panels are not installed directly on the tile, as the traditional models were which caused damage to the roof tiles.
2.When the tiles need to be replaced, the area of solar energy panels does not need to be replaced. When future laws mandate solar panels and tile replacement installation now can be done saving the total cost in the future.

Old tiles reuse and recycle
Examples
We spend the time to recycle old tiles.
We suggest using the old tiles for landscaping, vintage tiles for inside and out side rooms, to make geometric patterns with tiles in park areas.
This business is environmentally thoughtful and we can pass on this new tradition for local revitalization.
