"Space Casting" is a workshop located in the Mizusawa district of Iwate Prefecture, one of the main production areas for Nanbu Tekki. They create iron tools with simple designs that match modern lifestyles, while preserving traditional techniques. Made using the raw mold casting method, where molten iron is poured into a mold solidified with sand, the unique texture and flavor of the iron material are expressed in the cast skin. This is a cute Tetsubin with a round, egg-like form. As you use the Tetsubin, a film will form on the inside, which removes unnecessary impurities from the water. Iron will also leach out, making it ideal for hot water or tea.
