Cast Iron Trivet – Ukigumo Floating Cloud Design – Beige Pink

Nambu Cast Iron Trivet – Ukigumo Floating Cloud Design

A beautifully crafted Nambu cast iron trivet (kama-shiki / 釜敷) featuring a soft and playful Ukigumo (浮雲), or “floating cloud,” design in a gentle combination of beige and pink.

Inspired by clouds drifting quietly across the sky, the rounded Ukigumo form brings a light, contemporary feeling to the traditional strength and weight of Japanese cast iron. The subtle beige and pink colors add warmth, making this piece easy to incorporate into both Japanese and modern interiors.

Traditionally, a kama-shiki (釜敷) is placed beneath a hot iron kettle or teapot to protect the surface below from heat. Beyond its practical function, this trivet also serves as a beautiful decorative accent for the tea table.

Made in Japan using the tradition of Nambu Tekki (南部鉄器), renowned for its durable cast iron craftsmanship, this piece combines traditional Japanese metalwork with a charming modern design.

Perfect for use with a Japanese iron kettle, teapot, or other hot serving vessel, it also makes a thoughtful gift for tea lovers and anyone who appreciates Japanese craftsmanship and design.
