This beautifully designed round tetsubin is made by combining traditional techniques with the latest casting technology. The lid and body form a spherical shape as one piece, and are made with advanced technology that combines traditional techniques with the latest casting technology. The pattern on the body and lid are connected, and the coarse and fine casting surface is repeated alternately in each vertical line. The alternating arrangement of the coarse and fine casting surface gives the tetsubin a three-dimensional effect, and the beautiful design and pattern stand out even more. The inside is finished with a rust-resistant finish using the traditional 「kama-yaki」 technique. Kamayaki is done by firing the tetsubin in a high-temperature oven. This process forms an oxide film on the surface of the tetsubin. The oxide film stabilizes the iron content of the tetsubin. The flavor of boiled water is improved and rust and corrosion are prevented. Rust-proofing by kettle firing is a traditional technique that has been handed down since ancient times.
