One of Iwate’s most famous local products - Nambu Tekki Ironware - is popular throughout Japan and around the world. Nambu Tekki has been made in and around Morioka for around 400 years. You can watch artisans making this traditional craft at the Iwachu cast-iron works.
Iwachu began operations in 1902, and has been making high-quality ironware products ever since. They specialise in a range of traditional Nambu Tekki products including kettles, teapots, wind chimes and lanterns, as well as modern cookware.
Watching the craftsman work the iron looks like very hot and back-breaking work...
... but they make the best tea pots!
