Iwakiribikoudo
It is a company located in Kirishima, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan.
They specialize in the production of Satsuma pewter ware.
The company was founded in 1916 by Toichiro Iwakiri, who initially manufactured tin pipes. Later, he realized that pewter ware had more potential than pipes and sent his son Toroku to study under a long-established traditional pewter ware company in Kagoshima.
Its pewter ware has continued to be produced using techniques passed down through generations, combining traditional methods with contemporary designs.
We received this tea caddy from our mother, who purchased it in 2023 and did not use it.
Very light surface scratches are visible as part of the handcrafted finish.
It comes with its Tomobako (original signed paulownia box) and manufacturer-provided leaflets.
