After melting copper into a sheet form, it is hammered into shape using the hammering technique called "Tsuiki", making the piece seamless.
The spout and handle are silver-waxed for durability. The lid knob is covered with sandalwood. The handle is wrapped with wisteria vines. The inside is tin-plated so that no odor remains, making it suitable for enjoying the taste of tea itself.

Maker / Brand
Seigado’s workshop is located at the foot of Mt. Yahiko in Niigata Prefecture, where high-quality copper was discovered about 300 years ago. This region is where the traditional tsuiki metalworking technique finds its roots.
In Japan, there's a saying that things get better with use, and Seigado's products possess a charm that inspires you to cherish and care for them over time.
Crafts
Metalwork has long been prized for its durability and gorgeous appearance. In Japan, bronze swords and harnesses were made from the Yayoi period (10th century BCE–mid-3rd century CE) based on techniques introduced from China and Korea. With the rise of Buddhism, the construction of temples, Buddhist statues, and ritual implements flourished, and metalworking techniques also advanced. Eventually, a wide variety of products such as tea ceremony utensils, Japanese swords, armor, and ornaments came to be manufactured.
