Cast Iron Cookware - NakedPan
The history of iron culture in Oshu city where many cast iron or nanbu-tekki is made dates back about 900 years when it was the time of the Crusades in the West and when Kyoto was the capital of Japan. It began when a lord of that time ordered Buddhist alter equipment to be made as all the materials needed for casting were found in this area.

By the first half of the Edo Period which is about 400 years ago, tea pots made of cast iron were rare and precious. Later, with the spread of tea, iron kettles were also made for the common people.

Nowadays, not only iron kettles but many other cast iron products are produced - teapots, pans, windchimes, incense holders and other items. Besides being used in Japan, they are now being sent overseas as well.

Situated at about 500km NNE of Tokyo that is a city of high technology, Oshu city is said to be a treasury of Japan’s folklore. The land is so blessed with nature that macrobiotic chefs and people who admire slow food come here for its food supply.

In a setting like that of old Japan, studios of just a few iron-casting craftsmen and small factories of no more than 50 workers produce traditional hand-made quality iron kettles and pots to be used around the world.

Production is still completed by hand and is strictly monitored by a master craftsman known as a kamashi. A minimum of 15 years is required to become a nambu-tekki craftsman, and 30-40 years to become a kamashi.

Nanbu ironware was designated a traditional craft by the Japanese government in 1975.
