Handmade Japanese Nanbu Tetsubin
Unlined Cast Iron Water Kettle
Set the tea mood with our highly detailed, supremely elegant Hanikamu (Honeycomb) Japanese Tetsubin handcrafted cast iron water kettle. This dark charcoal brown Tetsubin features a stylized raised honeycomb pattern over the exterior of the body and lid. It also has a wonderfully organic and sturdy handle. If every pot of tea is important to you, then a Japanese Nambu water kettle should be a part of your tea making ritual.
This Nanbu Tetsubin iron water kettle was crafted in Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture, Japan and is marked by the artist under the spout.
**Note - the handle does NOT fold down.**
Traditional Japanese Tetsubin water kettles, including our Yūga are unlined meaning they do not have porcelain enamel linings or strainer baskets.
As you heat water, or infuse tea, a natural coating (or patina) will form to protect the interior of your cast iron water kettle. It is important your Tetsubin is allowed to fully air dry after each use. The Yūga is marked by the artist under the spout.
