A high-quality metal makes comfortable sounds. As there are the good traditional metal crafts in Japan, Nambu Tekki which has more than 900 years history is most famous. 500km (300mile) away from Tokyo to the north, Iwate Prefecture is one of the Tohoku Area. That means the area was so far apart from the ancient central city Kyoto. But the prosperity of Oshu Fujiwara Clan in the 11th century left the many cultural legacies including the World Heritage Site Chusonji Temple

We can see not only the tangible cultural properties. Nambu Tekki is also the legacy of Oshu Fujiwara Clan. Addition to that, the daimyos (feudal lords) of Nambu domain had encouraged the cast iron industry. So Oshu-shi and Nambu-shi are the main areas of Nambu Tekki still today.
