Manufacturing process
The pans are crafted using the hammering method, where a cut iron sheet is shaped into the form of a pan by hammered thousands of times with a special machine.
Pots crafted through thousands of hammer strikes become more robust as the metal particles are compacted. These pots have a unique, fine texture on their surface, distinctive to the hammering method, and they become more seasoned with oil over continued use.
The areas where the hammer strikes are finely adjusted with the skilled expertise of artisans, resulting in the distinctive pot surface that is characteristic of Yamada Kogyosho.
