The black color gives an impression of sophistication and adds depth and dignity to the tetsubin. The black finish also gives the tetsubin a simple yet powerful impression, making it an attractive match for any interior. The raised lid gives the tetsubin a three-dimensional appearance and a more modern atmosphere. It is a successful fusion of tradition and modernity, and looks attractive not only for enjoying tea, but also as an interior decoration. The inside is finished with a rust-resistant finish using the traditional 「kama-yaki」 technique. Kamayaki is done by firing the tetsubin in a high-temperature oven. This process forms an oxide film on the surface of the tetsubin. The oxide film stabilizes the iron content of the tetsubin. The flavor of boiled water is improved and rust and corrosion are prevented. Rust-proofing by kettle firing is a traditional technique that has been handed down since ancient times. Natural lacquer baking finish on the outside. Natural lacquer baking finish is a traditional method of applying natural lacquer to the surface of the tetsubin and firing it. This process protects the surface of the tetsubin from rust and stains. Natural lacquer is also highly durable and keeps the texture and color of the tetsubin beautifully for a long period of time.
