* This is an antique, used item with scratches, dirt, and rust due to long-term storage.
The rust was boiled out with sencha (green tea) for the listing, but we recommend further cleaning.
There are stains and dirt on the kettle lid (Photo 8).
The kettle ring is not included.
We will include the cloth shown in Photo 18 and a lid bag that my mother-in-law used for storage, although it may not be the original cloth.
Includes a booklet.

Jōsei Sand Iron stamp on the side of the body (Photo 6).

* The item will be shipped in the cardboard box shown in Photo 19.

* Sand iron has extremely few impurities and high purity, making it easy for iron to dissolve into the water, resulting in mellow and delicious hot water.
It is highly durable and can be used for a long time, while also possessing the beauty of an antique.

* As this is a used antique item that has been stored for a long time, please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a pristine or like-new item.
The condition assessment is based solely on our subjective opinion, so please check the product photos.
As you cannot physically inspect the item, please feel free to comment with any questions or requests for price reductions.

My mother-in-law used to run a tea ceremony class (Urasenke). As she has gotten older, she no longer uses these items, so we will be gradually listing them as we organize her belongings.
We do not know the purchase date or the number of times they were used.

Although I am a novice in tea ceremony, I will answer any questions to the best of my knowledge.
We would appreciate your comments.
