Tetsubin are Japanese cast-iron kettles with a pouring spout, a lid, and a handle crossing over the top, used for boiling and pouring hot water for drinking purposes, such as for making tea. Tetsubin are traditionally heated over charcoal. In the Japanese art of chanoyu, the special portable brazier for this is the binkake. Tetsubin are often elaborately decorated with relief designs on the outside. They range widely in size, and many have unusual shapes, making them popular with collectors. The historical origin of the tetsubin is not certain, but it may have evolved from the spouted and handled water kettle called tedorigama that was already being used in chanoyu in the era of the great tea master Sen no Rikyū (1522-1591). During the 19th Century infused tea became more popular and tetsubin were considered primarily status symbols rather than functional kitchen items. The prefectures of Iwate and Yamagata are the best known for producing tetsubin as well as iron teapots.
