There are not many craftsmen in the world who can produce such iron kettles made of iron sand. Because Japan was closed off from the rest of the world in the past, there was more iron sand than iron, which led to the development of Japan's own iron sand processing method.\u003cbr\u003eAs a result, the wonderful technique of processing iron sand, which is difficult to handle as a material, has been inherited to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Japan, there is a long-held belief that gods reside in things and nature. Many high mountains have become objects of worship, and Mt. Fuji, the tallest and most beautiful mountain in Japan, is a good example. Horses have also historically been known as vehicles for people of high status and gods. In warfare, people built a relationship of trust with horses and fought together with them on a daily basis.\u003cbr\u003eHorses were thought to bring \"good things\" to people, such as victory, benefits, and income. This casting shows such auspicious Mount Fuji and two horses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt features a clean form with a thin fabric and a beautiful sand grain cast surface, and is highly regarded visually and functionally for its good heat conductivity. The simple, lean design has a universal beauty that is at home at any dining table, while inheriting the spirit of the tea ceremony. Inheriting the items used by grandparents and parents and using them for a long time will bring memories of those who have used them. One of the characteristics of cast metal is that because it is long-lasting, you can cherish things and enjoy their background.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is recommended not only for daily use but also for interior decoration.\u003cbr\u003eWater boiled in an iron kettle has a mild taste and is very tasty, and you can also consume iron with a high absorption rate.\u003cbr\u003eWe hope you will use it to build a healthy body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Product History\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\" data-mce-style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eWhen did these crafts start to craft?：900 years ago \/ 1100AD \/ Heian period in Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\" data-mce-style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eYamagata castings are metalwork made in Yamagata Prefecture.

Initially, these beads were highly prized as exotic treasures and were used as decorative items or in jewelry, symbolizing wealth and status.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe production and popularity of tombodama saw significant growth during the Edo period (1603-1868), where skilled artisans began to develop and refine various techniques for making these intricate glass beads. The methods included melting colored glass rods to wrap around a metal rod, creating a bead which could then be embellished with additional layers of glass to form patterns, often floral or geometric. These beads were not only used in jewelry but also incorporated into kimono accessories and as part of samurai garment decorations, reflecting their widespread appeal across different classes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Meiji period (1868-1912) introduced Western influences and technologies, further enriching the art of tombodama making. Artisans experimented with new glass types and techniques, enhancing the quality and variety of designs. However, the advent of modernization and changing fashion trends led to a decline in traditional tombodama production by the mid-20th century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn recent decades, there has been a revival of interest in tombodama, driven by a renewed appreciation for traditional crafts and cultural heritage. Artisans, both in Japan and around the world, continue to preserve and innovate upon the ancient techniques, producing beads that are cherished for their historical significance as well as their artistic beauty. Today, tombodama are not only valuable collectibles but also serve as a symbol of Japanese craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities, bridging the past with the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\" data-mce-style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCraftsman Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCraftsman Profile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\" data-mce-style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eShigeki Fujimura \/ Fujimura Tombodama Studio\u003cbr\u003eIn the present day, the majority of tombodama (Japanese glass beads) are made using modern equipment such as gas or oil burners and lamps, utilizing pre-made glass.

Initially, these beads were highly prized as exotic treasures and were used as decorative items or in jewelry, symbolizing wealth and status.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe production and popularity of tombodama saw significant growth during the Edo period (1603-1868), where skilled artisans began to develop and refine various techniques for making these intricate glass beads. The methods included melting colored glass rods to wrap around a metal rod, creating a bead which could then be embellished with additional layers of glass to form patterns, often floral or geometric. These beads were not only used in jewelry but also incorporated into kimono accessories and as part of samurai garment decorations, reflecting their widespread appeal across different classes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Meiji period (1868-1912) introduced Western influences and technologies, further enriching the art of tombodama making. Artisans experimented with new glass types and techniques, enhancing the quality and variety of designs. However, the advent of modernization and changing fashion trends led to a decline in traditional tombodama production by the mid-20th century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn recent decades, there has been a revival of interest in tombodama, driven by a renewed appreciation for traditional crafts and cultural heritage. Artisans, both in Japan and around the world, continue to preserve and innovate upon the ancient techniques, producing beads that are cherished for their historical significance as well as their artistic beauty. Today, tombodama are not only valuable collectibles but also serve as a symbol of Japanese craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities, bridging the past with the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\" data-mce-style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCraftsman Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCraftsman Profile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\" data-mce-style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eShigeki Fujimura \/ Fujimura Tombodama Studio\u003cbr\u003eIn the present day, the majority of tombodama (Japanese glass beads) are made using modern equipment such as gas or oil burners and lamps, utilizing pre-made glass.

Keep the flute well humidified in a closed plastic bag and send it for repair as soon as possible. Flutes are generally repairable. It's recommended keeping the flute in a plastic bag, sealed with a rubber band, whenever it's not being played.\u003cbr\u003eBamboo is very hard, but it has several fragile qualities. Heat, quick temperature and humidity changes are a significant threat that might cause cracks to appear. Therefore do not subject it to heat or direct sunlight. Don't leave it in your car on a hot day. It's recommended to give the flute a very light coating of walnut or camellia oil on the surface several times a week to prevent drying.\u003cbr\u003eWhen stored in a sealed environment, the Shakuhachi will experience virtually no fluctuations in relative humidity that can damage the instrument. A relative humidity level of 50 % is recommended.\u003cbr\u003eAfter playing your Shakuhachi it is a customary to run a Tsuyutoshi cleaning cloth through the bore. Drop the weighted end carefully into the mouthpiece, protect the sharp Utaguchi edge gently with your thumb pad, and pull through from the bottom. The most fragile part of the Shakuhachi is the Utaguchi (blowing edge). A handmade leather mouthpiece cap is designed to protect the delicate Utaguchi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eTo assemble the Shakuhachi ensure that the male portion of the middle joint has a thin layer of lubricant.
