SEIKODO is the small atelier which specialized for making Iron Tea Pot and Iron Kettle. Actually, over 60 processes need to finish making each kettle with dedicated work. Once two weeks, we pour melted iron into 50~100 molds, it takes from 2weeks to 1month to complete a product.
Since all steps should be performed by hands, we can’t produce massively, the completed Iron Tea Pot and Iron Kettle are quite refined and impressive. Each of them seems like to breath gently. You can feel relaxed and peaceful mind just keeping with you.
