Heritage of Cast Iron in Tea Culture
Cast iron has been integral to tea culture for centuries, particularly in East Asia. Japanese craftsmen developed the art of casting iron teaware during the 17th century, creating pieces that combined functionality with artistic merit. The tradition of using cast iron accessories, including trays, emerged from this rich history of metalworking.
In traditional Japanese tea ceremonies, every element serves both a practical and aesthetic purpose. Cast iron trays became essential components, protecting precious wooden surfaces while adding to the ceremony's visual harmony. This marriage of function and form continues to influence modern tea service accessories.
