Cast Iron Pictures

We went back to the festival as promised; unfortunately we forgot to take a camera yet again.  Wow.  It's a good thing I'm blogging, because we're not doing a good job of chronicling our adventures.

While you won't get to see tons of cast iron, we took pictures of what we bought.  Kelli and I both are looking forward to passing our cast iron pans on to our kids.  What an inheritance, huh?  Some parents give money, some parents give old rustic cookware.  At least we don't have to worry about our kids trying to knock us off just so they can make out like bandits.





The pot on the right is a more traditional style.  The one on the right left was less traditional, but we liked it.  The pot on the right was made by Oigen.  You can find their stuff online.  They make the Nakedpan.  It is worth checking out the link.  It has some video of the foundry, which is in our hometown!

The little guy is going to be a Christmas ornament.





And that is our hotpad.  Seeing some of the craftsmanship inspired the same kind of awe as the nebuta.

Now I'll just have to wait for the sword-makers festival so I can buy a katana.  Oh wait, there isn't a sword-makers festival.  Dang.  Maybe I'll just have to buy a gensu knife and cut cans in half.

  1. Um. Maybe I'm just confused but maybe you typo'd:

    "The pot on the right is a more traditional style. The one on the right was less tradition, but we liked it. The pot on the right was made by Oigen."

    On the right...on the right...on the right....?

  2. Nice pictures. I like cast iron. Do you have a wood stove you can put your cast iron on in the winter?
