Thank you for viewing! Product Description This is a Tetsubin Kyusu (teapot) from **"Iwachu,"** a leading manufacturer of Nambu Tekki (cast ironware) representing Japan. It features a dignified design with the traditional "Arare" pattern and a convenient 0.3L size. The main feature of this item is the **"MADE IN JAPAN" and Iwachu brand logo engraved on the bottom.** This is a mark of the overseas export and global expansion model, which Iwachu inscribed to guarantee its quality to the world when it expanded into Europe, such as France, and North America after the 1970s. It has a rare design with English alongside the Japanese characters, which is different from the domestic-only Kanji notation, and is a valuable item that proves Iwachu is a "Nambu Tekki brand" that the company is proud of worldwide. As it is a Kyusu type, it is perfect for brewing tea using the included stainless steel tea strainer. • Manufacturer: Iwachu (English and logo engraved on the bottom) • Capacity: Approximately 0.3L • Design: Arare (a traditional pattern that is also popular overseas) • Accessories: Stainless steel tea strainer • Condition: Unused. Some slight rust is visible inside due to storage. Explanation and Maintenance Although this product is unused, some rust has appeared inside due to the nature of Nambu Tekki and the storage period. Rust on Nambu Tekki is not harmful to the body, and you can use it for a long time with proper care. 【Initial Care】 Before use, rinse lightly and boil tea leaves (such as used green tea leaves) to allow the tea components (tannins) and iron to react, creating a film that suppresses rust. You can enjoy the process of the texture increasing the more you use it, and it will grow into a lifetime tool. Shipping Shipping will be via the safe and secure anonymous delivery service **"Yu-Yu Mercari Bin."** This item has minor rust inside and is a unique item with a background as an overseas expansion model, but we have set the price slightly lower than the market price. #NambuTekki #Iwachu #IWACHU #Tetsubin #Kyusu #Arare #TraditionalCrafts #TeaUtensils #Teapot #JapaneseTea #KitchenGoods #CarefulLiving #Antique #IronSupplement #JapaneseTableware #NambuTetsubin #Vintage #Retro #CookingUtensils #Crafts #MadeInJapan #ExportModel
