It is carefully finished by the traditional technique (baking method). Since it is made thin, it is lightweight, compact and easy to handle. The surface of the iron kettle is given a tasteful and beautiful cast surface, and you can enjoy the feeling of iron skin. A skin pattern is an iron skin without a pattern. The picking of the lid is designed with pine cones. The picking of a lid is decorated with a hole called "Mushikui" . "Mushikui" gives the piece a withered appearance and a sense of deep richness peculiar to the Japanese, as well as a sense of splendor. Nanbu ironware is baked using the traditional technique called kama-yaki to produce an oxide layer on the surface. It leads to "rust resistance" and "water quality improvement" and makes tea and coffee taste better. The water boiled in Nanbu iron kettle tastes mellow and sweet even when drunk straight. This is due to the effect of iron leaching into the hot water, but in order for the iron to leach out, the inside cannot be enameled or otherwise treated, and rust is liable to occur. -Origin of Kozan- It is said that it was named because the southern clan used to keep tigers near Kitayama, Morioka City, where the first tiger mountain (Heikichi Kumagai) was born.
