Ichido Iron Supplementation - NANBU TETSUGU Jr. - Nanbu Iron Figurine Jr. (Junior)

This item is inspired by the Shakoki Dogu (goggle-eyed clay figurines) found in abundance in Aomori and Iwate prefectures. Its leaching iron content allows it to be used in kettles and pots for iron supplementation, as well as for removing sand from shellfish, and for enhancing the color of black beans and pickled eggplants, serving as a substitute for old nails. It stands stably upright, making it suitable as a decorative object or ornament.
