Nambu Ironware, Teapot, REIWA ARARE, with trivet mat, 0.5L
This is a Nambu ironware teapot made to commemorate the new era "Reiwa"
The design features a pattern of plum blossom petals in reference to the verse in the anthology of poems Man’yôshû, from which it is derived.
The Manyoshu was compiled more than 1,200 years ago. From the context, “rei” means “beautiful” and “wa” means “harmony”.
You can enjoy both the roughly textured pattern, a classic style of Nambu ironware, and the way flowers bloom.
The white inspired by plum blossoms is spread on gold base, which feels elegant and modern, with a striking finish.
It is enameled to prevent rusting inside, and has very good heat retention properties.
Notice
Since the inside is enameled, there is no change in water quality due to iron leaching. Using all heating units, including open flame and induction heater, is not allowed.
Enameled and Easy maintenance
YSince Nambu ironware is made of cast iron, rust may occur depending on usage conditions such as humidity and moisture.
The teapot type has an enameled interior, which prevents it from rusting inside. It is easier to handle.

If tea drips from the spout, it may cause stains. Gently wipe it off immediately with a cloth or place one over the spout before pouring.
When cleaning, rinse the inside with warm water without detergent, and wipe off the excess water with a dry cloth. Gently wipe the outside of teapot and mat with a dry cloth.
