About the brand

The history of the product is the history of Bunbuku. Founded in the Taisho era, a transitional period to modern living. A timeless Japan hardware manufacturer.

We provide one-stop manufacturing services for thin sheet metal materials such as stainless steel and steel from sheet metal processing (drilling, cutting, bending, welding), assembly, and painting.

When you think of a trash can, you immediately think of this shape, but the "tapered bucket" was released in 1960. As a pioneer in steel housewares, we create masterpieces that continue to be loved throughout the ages.

Seven years after its founding, it grew as a pioneer in steel household goods during the period of high economic growth.

Bunbuku was founded by the first generation, Shiro Takeuchi, in the 7th year of Taisho (1918). At that time, it was a zinc iron ware manufacturing company, producing water ladles, buckets, watering cans, etc.

After that, we overcame the turbulent and difficult times of the post-war period, and under the leadership of the second generation, Shigeru Takeuchi, we invested in equipment and established a system that could consistently manufacture hardware products, from the processing of metal sheets ~ the painting process. It was a period of high economic growth. Demand due to the rapid expansion of the economy was a tailwind. We are proud to be a pioneer in steel household goods, such as a household waste container with a character on a steel trash can, a scrap bin with a fancy pattern printed on it, a scrap bin with quilted wraps, and a steel tabletop accessory container. Long-selling products such as tapered buckets and rotary waste bins (rotary lid trash cans), which are still loved today, were born in this era.

We have always stood in the shoes of the users and have devoted ourselves to making high-quality products. This attitude, which has been in place since our founding, will not change in the future.

The company name "Bunbuku" is derived from the old tale "Bunbuku Chagama". At the time of its founding, the company name was not "Bunbuku", but the raccoon was used as a trademark. It seems that it was aimed at the auspiciousness of "surpassing others" and the effect of making a strong impression quickly. When we changed our company name, we changed our company name to "Bunbuku" because we wanted to be like that in both business management and social life, in reference to the "Bunfuku Chagama," which is said to have given back to the people who have taken care of us.

What are we doing?

Inheriting skilled craftsmanship, we provide a one-stop service for all processes from processing to painting.

Bunbuku's factory is located in Nihonmatsu, Fukushima Prefecture. Inheriting skilled craftsmanship, we provide one-stop manufacturing services from sheet metal processing (deformation, cutting, etc.) of stainless steel and steel to welding, assembly, and painting. In addition to household products, we also offer industrial and custom-made products.

Bunbuku's manufacturing is also considerate of the global environment. The steel products handled by Bunbuku are rust-resistant, do not become waste at the end of their life, and most of them are collected and reusable in high quality. It is said that about 80% of all steel products are recycled, and there is a big difference in the recycling rate from plastic products, which are mostly burned as fuel after collection. Almost all of the steel that has finished its role in society is collected as scrap and reborn as new products. In addition, we are working to protect the environment and prevent pollution in the manufacturing process, such as recycling and reusing thinner used for painting work.

Commitment to the product

Since we consistently manufacture products at our own factory, we are able to work closely together between design and manufacturing, which leads to improved quality. In the inspection process, we strive to prevent defects from leaking out by inspecting not only the appearance of products but also inspections at the stage of each part.

[Tapered bucket]

Bunbuku's iconic long-selling product. It is different from natural wooden ones and functional but bland plastic ones, and has a good feeling and a texture and design that you will never get tired of. It has a discreet appearance, does not stand out badly even when installed in various spaces, and has a universal beauty that can be used in modern living rooms and offices. In recognition of the fact that it has been making products in an unchanged form for more than 60 years, it has won the 2015 Good Life Long Life Design Award. The metallic sound when you throw away garbage or put things in is also a pleasure unique to this product. The edges are wrapped with a single piece of board to cover the seams of the iron plate, so it will not be damaged if the clothes touch it.

The simple style that can be flexibly accommodated, such as storage, planter cover (separate saucer is required), is also attractive.

[Magnet Bucket]

Round-shaped storage goods with magnets. Attach it to the refrigerator or washing machine and use it as a small storage container. It can also be used as a document container or scrap container on the desk side. It's slim and compact, so it doesn't get in the way.

Who are supporting us?

Because of its simple design, it is supported by a wide range of people, regardless of gender or age. It is highly supported by those who prefer simple things and those who have a simple lifestyle. With a history of more than 60 years, tapered buckets are regularly introduced in lifestyle magazines, design magazines, and mono magazines as products with unchanging universal beauty.

In addition to homes, it is also patronized by a wide range of companies, such as hotel rooms, commercial facilities, and offices. We also accept custom-made products, so we can make proposals that match the design of the room and the entire building.

As a sales route, in addition to our own e-commerce site "Sunday House" and online store, we are also available at well-known select stores such as D&Department and Today's Special, which are themed on long-life design.
