About NANBU IWACHU: IWACHU is a company based in Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture, specializing in the manufacture and sale of Nanbu ironware, a traditional craft. IWACHU Nanbu ironware, originating from the Japanese tea ceremony, is characterized by its strong artistic qualities and modern designs that seamlessly integrate into contemporary lifestyles. IWACHU employs both the traditional "yakimono" method, which has been passed down through the ages and is used for making iron kettles, and the "namagata" method, suitable for mass production items such as kitchenware and teapots. Their product lineup includes "iron kettles" that preserve traditional techniques, "teapots" showcasing both convenience and design, "kitchenware" that enhances the joy of cooking, and versatile "small items" suitable for interior decor and gifting. Nanbu ironware is resistant to rust, durable, and can last for generations when cared for properly. Additionally, iron is a recyclable resource, so even if a product breaks, it can be melted down and reborn into a new item.
