Footnote

The Suzuki Morihisa (鈴木盛久) studio dates back to 1625, when Suzuki Ietsuna was appointed as the official metalworker of the Nanbu domain. The family specialized in crafting Buddhist altar fittings and temple bells, later expanding into tea kettles and ironware. The 11th-generation master, Suzuki Kihachi, created the renowned Arare-mon Nanbu tetsubin, featured in Japan’s 1985 Traditional Crafts stamp series. From the 12th generation, the family adopted the name Morihisa, and in 1974, 13th-generation Suzuki Morihisa was designated a Preserver of Important Intangible Cultural Properties. Now in its 16th generation, the studio continues Nanbu Tekki craftsmanship.
