梅枝 Stainless Steel

 

Plum Branch Product Introduction

Plum Branch is an aesthetic metal available in both stainless steel and titanium.

It is a versatile material suitable for both interior and exterior architectural applications, from interiors to exteriors, and even in coastal areas with salt damage.

This product was inspired by the “Tobiume” at the renowned Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine in Dazaifu City, Fukuoka Prefecture.

“Plum Branch” combines traditional Japanese beauty, contemporary elegance, and the durability of metal, offering designers, creators, architects, and planners the ability to propose aesthetic metal that reflects the essence of Japanese culture and modern technology.

History and Background of Plum Branch Development

“Plum Branch” is named after the legendary “Tobiume” associated with Sugawara no Michizane, the god of learning enshrined at Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine.

Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine is a significant place symbolizing Japanese history and culture, with “Tobiume” as an iconic presence.

To incorporate this tradition and history into modern architecture, “Plum Branch” was developed.

 

Design and Characteristics of Plum Branch

Initially developed for a European project by master architect Frank Gehry, “Plum Branch” was rearranged for the Japanese market after the European project used different materials, resulting in the current “Aesthetic Metal Plum Branch.”
