Overview
Various southern ironware such as iron bottles, teapots, iron pots, wind bells, etc. are made mainly of horseshoe. There are also studios that make sand iron iron bottles and tea pots using sand iron as a raw material.
The hot water boiled in the iron jar of the Nanbu Ironware and the dishes prepared in the iron pot have been proved to contain a large amount of iron. The use of iron bottles and pots has the effect of being able to supply iron essential to the human body, and in recent years we have expanded our sales channels to China and East Asian countries as well as Japan.
In addition, by coloring the color of the tea pot of the southern iron pot colorfully, the sales channel has been established in the West as a color teapot.
History / History
As for southern ironware of Morioka, receiving the protection of the southern pot in the Edo period, the southern pottery invited a potter and a caster from Kyoto in the middle of Edo period (about 380 years ago) and made a tea pot. A caster was also invited from Koshu (Yamanashi Prefecture), and it became a production center for tea pots, Buddhist instruments and iron bottles.
On the other hand, in the southern ironware of Oshu, Mr. Fujiwara invited a founder from Kyoto and the country of Omi (Shiga Prefecture) in the late Heian period (about 930 years ago) to start making Buddhist tools and iron pot pots. The production of iron pots and Buddhist utensils grew briskly under the protection of Date Pass during the period, becoming the No. 1 producer in the early Meiji period.
In 1959, Morioka and the southern iron craftsmen of Oshu friendlyly interacted, and as a "South iron iron" brand, the iron crafts built in both production areas developed sales channels to the global market and succeeded in expanding demand. Iwate Prefecture's southern ironware has developed dramatically as a "brand of the world".
