Ion plating is a combined technology that docks vacuum deposition technology and plasma generating technology. It is a technology that ionizes through gas plasma or excites the particles of the membrane-forming material vaporized by vacuum deposition by means of glow discharge. It is able to form a membrane and make activated high-energy particles that have high momentum compared to ordinary vacuum deposition. By means of blue coloring, an iris similar to a human eye is depicted on the inside of the item showing a beautiful expression, therefore we want everyone to enjoy each of the different expressions.

The product is packaged in a black checkered patterned box that has an orange line which catches the eye and that carries a feeling of high luxury. The checkered pattern is patterned after stone pavements that continue until far away without interruption, and has been loved as a symbol of “prosperity” since ancient times.
This simple repeating also exists in a digital pattern, and expresses the fusion between traditional technology and digital technology. The package is also equipped with a mechanism that can be used as a display, therefore it can be used even after purchase.

【Development background】 While our company has been engaged in the metal manufacturing industry for a long time, we installed a state-of-the-art metal 3D printer in order to further challenge the possibilities of metal. Because we want more and more people to know about this wonderful manufacturing technology, we thought about challenging genres that we haven’t been involved with before, therefore we launched “OshO”, a design miscellaneous brand that pursues artistry. 【Summary of the product】 “Syuki”, the tool to enjoy sake, is the first installment of ”OshO”, a design miscellaneous goods brand that pursues the possibilities of the metal 3D printer. While using traditional art of ancient Japan as a motif, it is an item that shapes a unique attraction that can only be expressed by a metal 3D printer, and was developed making fully use of accumulated modeling knowledge under guidance from a top level design office. The product’s attractive points are that it has a complex, profound modeling beauty, and it aims for “an area that cannot be achieved by craftsmanship”. Furthermore, because ion plating processing is applied on the surface, other than the beautifulness, the degree of safety at the time of use is also carefully taken into consideration.
