The Kittachi Copper Kettle is the latest addition to Analogue Life’s original Kittachi Series. Produced in Tsubame, Niigata prefecture a region famous for its production of “Tsuiki”, the traditional copper-ware of the region. The kettle is crafted using the a high level of artisanal spinning, hammering, and casting techniques handed down locally for many generations. The main body is crafted with the technique called “Hera shibori” which is a traditional method of metal spinning performed by highly skilled artisans.

Each kettle is hand-crafted, in collaboration with Tankosha craft studio, incorporating traditional crafting methods with modern techniques.

A compact design makes the kettle suitable for use in smaller spaces, and the long spout gives its user the versatility to use the kettle for coffee pour-overs. The kettle’s knob is inspired by “kakitatekan” which is unique to kettles used in traditional tea ceremonies. The kettles interior including the spout is lined with tin.
