Type
Brand New
Condition
A traditional craft from Iwate Prefecture, Japan.
Origin and History:
Nambu Tekki has a history spanning over 400 years, with its origins in the Nambu domain (modern-day Iwate Prefecture). The craft flourished when feudal lords invited artisans to develop iron tea kettles, known as tetsubin, using local resources.
Characteristics:
These teapots are renowned for their durability, excellent heat retention, and distinctive, often austere, designs.
Health Benefits:
Water boiled in Nambu Tekki is believed to become smoother and to contain beneficial iron elements, contributing to its popularity both in Japan and internationally.
Maintenance:
Proper care, such as drying the inside after each use and avoiding leaving tea water overnight, is crucial for maintaining the teapot and preventing rust, especially in uncoated versions.
