Kiyosue's Biography: Kiyosue (Shinichi Fujiwara) Born in Yahaba-cho, Iwate Prefecture in 1955. Joined Iwachu Co., Ltd. in 1995. Worked under the second and third generation Kiyosue. Certified as a Traditional Craftsman in 2011 (became the fourth-generation Kiyosue). This iron kettle is certified as a national traditional craft. This iron kettle is still manufactured by hand, one by one, using the traditional yakigata method. Excellent techniques are applied to every detail, including the handle, cast skin, and patterns. In 2012, the fourth-generation "Kiyosue" Shinichi Fujiwara was newly certified as a Traditional Craftsman. Currently, three people are involved in making the molds for Nanbu iron kettles, working to resolve the backlog in delivery. Therefore, the production is carried out by the three Traditional Craftsmen: the third-generation "Kiyosue," the fourth-generation "Kiyosue," and the third-generation "Kiyoshige" (from the Iwachu HP). New, unused item, with original box, bookmark, and tag. Made by the fourth-generation Kiyosue of Nanbu Iwachu. Guaranteed authentic. The condition of the inside and outside of the iron kettle is perfect as it is new and unused. Please refer to the images for your judgment.
