Founded in 1952. Applying the traditional casting process of Yamagata Casting, which has 900 years of history, Chobundo manufactures iron kettles with thin walls and a beautiful casting surface that is simply "usuniku-birei" (thin-walled and beautiful).
The adorable shape will surely make you feel happy. You can also use it as a paperweight. Perfect for a gift because it is boxed one by one.
I am very satisfied with the received items and hope to have more traditional handmade products with excellent workmanship added in the future. W.L. from China

I'm very satisfied with the products and your service arranging to get the goods to me as soon as possible.
My friend was thrilled with the gift as I knew she would be - I lived in Japan for about 10 yrs and she was there for about 6 years we recall Japan well.
THANKS again.
I will look at more things in your store.

I ordered the whale chopstick rest and used as a paperweight a year ago! I adored it so much and wanted to order more. Finally they were restocked so I ordered 7 more. A family of whales!! The quality is top notch, very smooth finish and heavy weight, I know they would last a lifetime! They arrived perfectly and thanks for the speedy shipment!

These are just the best. Practical, well designed and made with care. Love the weight and whimsy.
I always feel most confident to make my purchases from Shokunin.com because you have not failed me at all. Excellent communication, gorgeous and careful packing, so that every item arrives in perfect condition. Every piece I have received is outstanding quality.
