Akira Kikuchi Boilerplate

Established in 1848 in Ôshû City, Iwate Prefecture JAPAN, Oitomi began as Hoshodo. Founder Oikawa Rigenta, a tea ceremony kettle craftsman for the Date clan, shaped Oitomi's 170-year legacy rooted in the tea ceremony. Iwate Prefecture's ironware, rooted in Morioka and Ôshû, gained "Nambu Ironware" status. We artisans strive to share the enduring charm of this legacy, passed through generations in our region. As artisans, we prioritize sustainable production to preserve iron's potential—a foundational resource for human civilization since Earth's beginning—for the well-being of future generations.
