桂離宮を世界に紹介した建築家ブルーノタウトが円と六角形との組合わせの良いデザインを激賞した作品です。 常時制作の「仁左エ門釜」最高級品です。

日本小泉仁左卫门第一代是京都釜师，1659年受第28代南部藩主重直公邀请，封“南部御用釜师”，這就是“南部釜”的起源。

南部鐵瓶?的开山鼻祖

到了1750年前後，第三代小泉仁左衛門決心製作『使用方便的燒水茶壺』，南部鐵瓶（ 南部鐵壺）最早就是由他創作的。

鐵壺的功用

第10代仁左衛門對鐵壺的功用作了如下說明。

首先是有益於健康。現在，日本五個人中有一人是貧血或準貧血。科學研究的結果表明，鐵壺燒出的開水對補充鐵份具有很好的效果。

第二，燒出的開水味道純正。飲用水味道變差已成為全國問題，在這種情況下，用鐵壺的開水沏茶、沖泡咖啡等，能使飲料、食物非常美味。

第三，是審美觀。在已經西化的日常生活中，出於對空寂古雅的「和風」（或許來自日本人的DNA）的執持偏好，日本人喜用鐵壺並能從中得到心靈的安樂。

繼續南部鐵器的啟蒙与传承

仁左衛門釜，目前已经传承至第十一代岳広。每把精品都用獨特的精細加工處理，所以色調會隨時間越用越古雅。而且，形狀、質地具有獨特的氛圍和格調，在製作、創作中，既重視空寂、古雅、幽邃，又不忘為作品注入吻合時代的新感覺。
