​How to start to use an iron  kettle
 
*Fill water 80% and boil 20 minutes(a lid should be open little)
  Drink hot water after repeat 3 times above
( because to remove dust and Urushi lacquer odor)
* Please boil water at small to medium heat
* Please boil water every day in 3 months
* After use, discard unused hot water immediately and take a lid out and dry      completely with remaining heat
* If you get a red spot, don’t worry and keep using
* After 3 month use, it gets whiten inside of kettle, this makes hot water better taste
*After 1  year use, you could leave water one day but it’s better to discard water after use and dry
*When water get cloudy because of rusted, put a green tea bag in a kettle and boil several hours( don’t boil with no water in it)
*Never use detergent or scrubbing brush and no apply oil

赤ベコ / グレベコ (Aka-beko / Gre-beko) Red Ox / Grey Ox

Picture
Akabeko (赤べこ Akabeko, red cow) is a legendary cowfrom the Aizu region of Japan, who inspired a traditional toy. Aizu legend claims that the toys are based on a real cow used to build the Enzō-ji temple in the ninth century.

The toy is made from two pieces of paper-mache covered wood, shaped and painted to look like a red cow or ox. One piece represents the cow's head and neck and the other its body. The head and neck hangs from a string and fits into the hollow body. When the toy is moved, the head thus bobs up and down and side to side. The earliest akabeko toys were created in the late 16th or early 17th century.

Over time, people came to believe that the toys could ward off illnesses. Akabeko has become one of Fukushima Prefecture's most famous crafts and a symbol of the Aizu region. It has also been recognized as a symbol of the larger Tohoku region of which Fukushima Prefecture is a part.
