The most well-known are made from cast iron, but there are also ceramic ones. A regular gotoku is used with the ring facing up, but in the case of the tea ceremony, the gotoku is placed with the ring facing down (with the prongs facing up) and the kettle is placed on the prongs. Size：Dia29.2*H15.7cm Gotoku D17*H9cm *Satsuma During the Edo period, producers and craftsmen were limited as products of the Satsuma Domain, and later, the Meiji government positioned ceramics as an important trade item, but was unable to meet the demand, so ceramic producing areas throughout Japan entered the market and began exporting them as "SATSUMA"[3]. As a result, different names were created based on production area, such as Kyo-Satsuma, Osaka-Satsuma, Kobe-Satsuma, Tokyo-Satsuma, and Yokohama-Satsuma, and those made in Kagoshima came to be called Hon-Satsuma[3].
