About This Items
- Nambu ironware is metalwork made in Morioka and Oshu Mizusawa in Iwate Prefecture. It is a traditional craft that was created in the middle of the Edo period. It was made in the Nanbu domain, which is why it was named Nanbu ironware.
The iron kettle, which can be said to be the representative of Nambu ironware, is decorated with various patterns by craftsmen. The Arare pattern, which has a design with a bumpy surface, is used in Nambu ironware to increase the surface area of ironware. Nambu Tekki's products include not only iron pots but also pots, wind chimes, and accessories.
