SEIKODO is a small atelier which specializes in making Iron Tea Pots and Iron Kettles. In fact, there are over 60 steps in making each kettle. Every two weeks, we pour melted iron into 50～100 molds. It takes 2 weeks to 1 month to complete making one. 

Since all steps should be performed by hands, mass production is impossible. The completed Iron Tea Pots and Iron Kettles are quite refined and impressive. Each of them appears to breath gently. You can feel relaxed and peaceful by just having one of them with you.

The lid of the iron kettle is copper and the knob is silver.

The beautiful pattern that emerges from the copper is your own original pattern, the only one in the world.
