On both front and back of the handle originates from the pattern, “arare” or hail commonly used on the traditional Nanbu iron kettles. The pattern shown on the teapot is primarily a design aspect, yet also provides a function of enabling the teapot to be non slip. Again the combination of form and function is shown in Japanese design.
In 2007 Makoto Hirose received a Good Design Award for the Naked Pan – Oval 34.5cm x 28cm pan.
