Comment from the creator
In Japan, it is said that tools that have been used for 100 years acquire spirituality and become deities of mourning, and since the Muromachi period, they have been depicted in otogi-zoshi or fairy tales, and have become familiar to people.
Crafts that have been used and embedded in people's daily lives since ancient times may have also become tsukemogami without our noticing.
In this issue of NFT, we are trying to imagine 20 traditional crafts from all over Japan as Tsukumogami(gods of mourning).
Please take a look and see if there is a Tsukemogami to your liking.
Introduction of each work
Nanbu Tekki
This metalwork is made in and around Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture.
■Made in
Iwate
■Origin
This traditional craft was born in the mid-Edo period and was named "Nanbu Tekki" (Southern ironware) because it was made in the Nanbu domain. Ironware in Oshu is said to have originated in the late Heian period when Kiyohira Fujiwara invited ironworkers from Omi Province to make armor and other items.
■Characteristics
Nambu Tekki is characterized by its resistance to rust, long life, even heat distribution, and excellent heat retention. Thick Nambu Tekki stores a particularly large amount of heat, so the temperature does not drop easily even when filled with water or food, and the temperature does not become uneven during cooking. Various patterns are applied by craftsmen to tetsubin tetsubin, which are representative of Nambu Tekki. The arare pattern, a design with a bumpy surface, is used on Nambu Tekki in order to increase the surface area of the tetsubin. The weight and stability of the ironware, coupled with the unique rough texture, make the simple beauty of this product appealing.
