Nambu Ironware, 2-in-1 Iron kettle and teapot type, SEIHOUMARU ARARE (Square and Round Arare), 0.7L
This is a medium-sized (0.7L) arare tetsubin designed by Oitomi 7th.
The square arare pattern gives it a modern look.
With the attached strainer, it can be used as a teapot. It is the size of a standard teapot, but can also be used over an open flame.
In order to overturn the accepted notion that iron cannot be extracted from a teapot, the inside is not enameled. That makes it possible to dissolve the iron and become a delightful teapot.
Notice
The surface is coated with an antirust oxide layer using the traditional technique called kama-yaki (high temperature baking treatment), but as it is cast iron, rust may occur due to moisture and humidity.
Since the inside is not enameled, the leached iron and tannin may bind and discolor the tea. It is harmless to the human body.
2-in-1 Iron kettle and teapot type
You can use this type not only to boil water over an open flame, but also as a teapot with a tea strainer inside.
Nambu ironware is produced using the traditional technique called "kama-yaki" to generate an oxide layer on the surface. It leads to "rust resistance" and "dissolved iron effect" and makes tea and coffee taste better.

If the gas flame reaches the body of the pot, the part is likely to discolor, so be careful not to increase the heat too much.
Used over an open flame, the base will gradually turn white.

Nambu Ironware Production
01. Coke is the fuel. Coke has a calorific value of more than 1,500 degrees Celsius. This heat melts iron.
02. A mold made of sand. Molten iron is poured into the mold to form an iron kettle or teapot.
03. This mold is a modern remake of Tominoshin Oikawa V's original tetsubin dragonfly from 1954. This is used to make the sand mold in 02.
