Urushi, an exceptional teapot
This cast iron teapot was made in Morioka, Japan by the Iwachu family business. If you are a tea lover, this is a beautiful and practical object that will appeal to you.

It is certainly one of the best teapots on the market.

Urushi refers to a traditional type of Japanese lacquerware.

According to the Maki-e style, several coats of lacquer in different colors are applied to the cast iron surface to beautify and protect the teapot. This process is long because you have to wait for each layer to stabilize and harden through an oxidation process before applying the next one.
Although the origins of the Urushi technique date back to the Neolithic era, talented craftsmen perfected it over time, reaching an extraordinary level of refinement in the 16th century. Today Iwachu pays homage to this centuries-old tradition.

Each Iwachu teapot is made using an artisanal process of more than 60 steps, including:
- The interior and exterior molds are made by hand.
- Liquid cast iron is poured into the mould.
- When cold, the mold is broken to extract the teapot.
- All edges are filed.
- The interior part is enamelled.
- The outer surface is painted.
- After the paint dries, the teapot is carefully packaged.
Iwachu has been making cast iron objects for over 100 years. When you buy your teapot, make sure it has the Made in Japan logo on the bottom, it's your guarantee of quality.
