Seigaiha Wave Patterned Teapot

This is a cast iron teapot with a wave pattern made of Nambu ironware in Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture. The wave pattern is called seigaiha, which is a traditional Japanese pattern that reminds us of the blessings of the vast ocean. The infinitely expanding wave pattern is an auspicious one that expresses wishes for happiness that will last forever and for a peaceful life.

This teapot comes with a stainless steel strainer on the inside. The handle can be folded down. Do not use over an open flame, as the coating on the inside, which prevents rusting, may peel off.

Nambu ironware teapots have a stylish and timeless design. It has a high heat retention capacity, so the brewed tea does not get cold easily, and the enameled interior makes it easier to clean.

Nambu Ironware

Nambu ironware, a representative of Japanese ironware, is a collective term for the pure iron casting crafts of the Mizusawa region and Morioka City area of Iwate Prefecture. The name comes from the fact that it was made in the area known as the Nambu domain in the past.

The appeal of Nambu ironware, which has been loved throughout the generations, is not only its simplistic beauty, but also its many functional merits of being durable and easy to use in daily life.
