This beautiful black iron kettle is a "shinnarigata kama" (a type of tea ceremony kettle) and was handmade by the renowned kama master, Masamitsu Kikuchi. Crafted using traditional techniques, this kettle plays an important role in tea ceremonies, bringing out the deep flavor of the tea. The wooden box is inscribed with the name of the kettle, making it a valuable item for collectors and tea ceremony enthusiasts. The simple yet refined design of the black kettle will harmonize with any tea room and create an elegant atmosphere. This kettle, which embodies the spirit of the tea ceremony, is the perfect choice to make your tea time special. Pottery from the old days may have distortions, manufacturing flaws (kiln marks), and underfired areas (cracks). These are inherent characteristics, and are not specifically mentioned in the product description. Please check the condition of the item carefully in the images before purchasing.
