Kibundo was founded in 1813 by Shohei Hatano.
The first generation Shohei Hatano, along with his younger brother Zouroku Hata, at the age of 15,
Ryubundo in Kyoto was known as a master craftsman of metal casting at the time.
He studied under Yasunosuke Shihou.
He learned the technique of wax mold casting (a technique for casting metal that takes advantage of the properties of wax),
He later moved to Notogawa (present-day Higashioumi City) in Oumi (Shiga Prefecture) and became independent.
The workshop was called "Kibundo."
From the beginning of the company's founding, he devoted himself to producing copperware and iron kettles that were popular with literary figures.
From the end of the Edo period to the early Showa period, iron kettles began to be used in ordinary households.
Since then, iron kettles have been manufactured using wax casting.
Our iron kettles with embossed patterns inspired by nature and landscapes have received high acclaim.
Kamebundo's iron kettles have become widely known.
Even today, iron kettles, tea kettles, braziers, stationery, etc. are valued as works of art.
For antique lovers not only from Japan but also from East Asia such as China and Taiwan.
