Nambu cast iron was first made in the middle of the 17th century in Iwate, northern Japan, the area with rich material. A master from Kyoto was summoned by the lord to create an iron pot for tea ceremony, and it was the beginning of nambu-tekki (cast iron). It became exemplary of Japanese traditional craft, and is still popular today. The black color is the result of Japanese lacquer glaze called urushi which prevents rust.
Also available in Square Head.
