The workshop consistently produces cast iron products of the highest quality in both function and design using the Nanbu Teki (also known as Nambu Tetsu or Southern cast ironware) method. Nobuho Miya's works have been awarded worldwide and exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Each item is a handmade masterpiece that represents the outstanding skills of the artisans. Acquiring these skills requires extensive training and many years of experience.
