Round cast iron Tetsubin (Japanese iron kettle) with an embossed sailor motif. Purchased at Takashimaya's Japanese Traditional Crafts Exhibition about 5-6 years ago for around 25,000 yen. Please estimate the capacity by comparing it to a teacup. It's a size that's neither too small nor too large. It has been seasoned three times by boiling rice washing water. After that, it was displayed. Ready to use immediately. Never wash the inside. After boiling water, pour out all the water while it's hot, and leave the lid open to dry the inside. Unlike iron kettles with rust-preventative lacquer, even if rust appears, it provides iron supplementation. Occasionally, pat the outside with a tea bag while it's hot to bring out the shine. □ Includes instructions on how to use the Tetsubin. Maintenance is also available, so you can use it with peace of mind for a long time. Box included. - Material: Cast iron - Design: Embossed figure motif - Color: Dark brown - Shape: Round - Handle: Fixed
