This is a traditional "hiramaru (flat and round)" type iron kettle. Although it looks small, it can contain a sufficient volume totaling 1.5 liters. Making the most of the features of Yamagata Imono, this plain iron kettle highlights the beauty of the casting surface, which is possible as a result of making the casting mold separately each time. The product is plain and can be used for a long time without tiring of it. It can be used with any heat source, including an IH cooking heater.
This is an iron kettle with a beautiful "arare" dot pattern. As the casting mold is used only once and not reused, the detailed dot pattern is beautifully finished. The knob has a pine cone shape, and a bamboo leaf is subtly added to the arare dot pattern. This design brings about a calm atmosphere. As iron kettles manufactured in our studio are all colored with Japanese lacquer, the surface of the products becomes more glossy the more you use them, and you can enjoy their deeper charm with the passage of time. It can be used with any heat source, including an IH cooking heater.
This iron kettle employs the pattern of pomegranate, which carries the meaning of "prosperity of descendants." As the casting mold is used only once and not reused, the pomegranate flower and the bee that gravitates toward it are expressed perfectly. The lacquer coloring finish makes the product more glossy with use, which generates the deep charm characteristic of Japanese lacquer. The lid is large, and it is easy to pour water into the kettle. In addition, the product offers sufficient capacity and can be used when serving tea to guests. It can be used with any heat source, including an IH cooking heater.
This iron kettle is made in the motif of Mt. Fuji and cherry blossoms, the symbols of Japan. The cherry-blossom patterns, which are abundantly scattered over the body of the kettle, bring about a gorgeous atmosphere simply by displaying the product. As it is finished with Japanese lacquer coloring, the surface of the product becomes more glossy the more you use it, and the deep charm of the cherry-blossom patterns increases over time. It can be used with any heat source, including an IH cooking heater.
The body of this iron kettle is garnished with items that are said to be auspicious throughout Japan. The knob is shaped like a mallet of good luck known as "uchide-no-kozuchi," and just looking at this kettle brings about a feeling of pleasance and delight. The kettle has a 2.4 liter capacity, but is lighter than other companies' products of the same size because it is made using the thin-wall casting technique. With a finish consisting of Japanese lacquer coloring, the surface of the product becomes more glossy the more you use it, and each of the patterns stands out. You can use the product for a long time, and you will find yourself becoming attached to it. It can be used with any heat source, including an IH cooking heater.

This elegant iron kettle is extensively decorated with a chrysanthemum pattern over the body, and has a copper lid with a vermillion copper color. Makes a perfect gift. Because the casting mold is made each time and not reused, the piece of chrysanthemum petal is expressed delicately and beautifully. In addition, with Japanese lacquer coloring finish, the surface of the product becomes more glossy the more you use it and its charm increases as time goes by, both characteristics of Japanese lacquer. It can be used with any heat source, including an IH cooking heater.
This product expresses the scene of a summit under the clouds with a flash of lightning. According to ancient tradition, "we will have a good harvest in the year with lots of thunder," and the lightning is also considered to be an auspicious event. The product was designed by the founder of the studio and has been loved by users even now. Although it is a small kettle, it is colored with Japanese lacquer, so the surface of the product becomes more glossy the more you use it, which generates deeper charm. The inside of the product is also colored with Japanese lacquer, rather than being enameled.
This teapot uses a Japanese old tale called "Bunbuku Chagama" as a motif. In the story, a raccoon dog turned itself into a teakettle. The raccoon dog's adorable expression and the detailed arare dot patterns are expressed delicately because the casting mold is made each time without reusing it. In addition, like iron kettles, the product is finished with Japanese lacquer coloring, and therefore, the surface of the product becomes more glossy the more you use it, which generates deep charm. The inside of the product is colored with Japanese lacquer, rather than being enameled. With this lovely teapot, you can enjoy a high-quality relaxing time.
Decorated on the body with a plum design, this product is identical in shape to the enduringly popular Natsume (jujube fruit) iron kettle designed by the founder of the studio. The plum is regarded as a joyous harbinger of spring because the tree is among the first to blossom after enduring the harshness of winter. Each plum motif is individually hand-pressed. The kettle has a distinctive vermillion copper lid that brings refinement to the piece and makes it perfect also as a gift. The lacquered surface ages well, gaining deeper gloss over years of use. Can be used on all heat sources including induction.
