The name of the foundry, "Wazuqu", refers to a type of Japanese cast iron. This type of cast iron was used in Japan until the Edo period, to make swords and scissors. Today, there are just a few workshops in the world that still make teapots using this extremely pure Wazuqu cast iron.Teapots made by the WAZUQU foundry are very comfortable to handle, being on average 25% lighter than typical Japanese cast-iron teapots, thanks to the artisanal expertise perfected over more than 400 years. The cast iron used by this foundry is composed of 70% recycled materials. However, the quality of its products is just as high as that of products made from new raw materials. The WAZUQU foundry is environmentally conscious, and its packaging is made out of waste recycled from wheat flour processing. This means it can be thrown away with food waste.
