The lid also has a skin pattern.The knob on the lid is designed like a flower bud. The picking of a lid is decorated with a hole called "Mushikui" ."Mushikui" gives the piece a withered appearance and a sense of deep richness peculiar to the Japanese, as well as a sense of splendor. This tetsubin produces an vintage look.It represents a beautiful withered color that is not just gorgeous.In Japan, it is called "wabisabi". The handle is twisted as a one-point accent. The inside is not enamel processed.The boiling water will be mellow. Nanbu ironware is baked using the traditional technique called kama-yaki to produce an oxide layer on the surface. It leads to "rust resistance" and "water quality improvement" and makes tea and coffee taste better. The water boiled in Nanbu iron kettle tastes mellow and sweet even when drunk straight. This is due to the effect of iron leaching into the hot water, but in order for the iron to leach out, the inside cannot be enameled or otherwise treated, and rust is liable to occur.
