Is this tetsubin made in Japan? And if so is it stamped into the cast iron? {thanks for the info on the stamp; it was helpful} However, if someone has a new one or saved all the packaging it will say the country of origin somewhere. They are required...

On the bottom of the tetsubin there is a stamp, a tiny rectangle, which contains Japanese lettering (however I do not know what it says) but that is all. This pot has a glazed enamel interior, which if I read this correctly, means this pot is a "ky&#363;su" made for brewing tea but not boiling. The symbols I mentioned appear to be the same as I found for ky&#363;su, though it is difficult to tell due to the size. I hope this helps.

Hi No it is not made out of cast iron. That person gave the wrong review. It is made out of porclain and is Made in Japan.

This product is made in Japan. Over the years, I've had and bought several both for myself and as gifts. My hair is not straight, and I want it to be without the efforts of multiple irons. There are two kinds....one with a separate attachment for curling, another for drying hair straight and styling. I am simple. The downfall would be the instructions. Not written in English. Also, try not to overheat, it bends the bristles over time. Would I buy again? No issue. Love it!....I keep a spare for travels.

I lost the tag that came with the tea kettle so I have no idea the country of origin. I checked the kettle and it has no identifying marks. Sorry.

There is no country of origin stamped anywhere on the knife or sheath. Shame on me, I had not considered this. I guess that's why I bought Gerber, assuming they are all U.S.A. But some web research indicates this knife may be made in China. Oh well, you know what? It's a Gerber and it's dam nice. As for quality in this day and age, I don't think you can make a case against a Chinese Gerber knife. I'll just have to be more careful with my homework next time!

what are you guys all talking about? I'm not sure wheather the seller changed the product photos, but it clearly says product of Japan on the photos I'm seeing. Anyone can clarify if this is Japanese or Chinese product? Makes me doubt evenmore, if people were complaning about it being from China, so the manufacturer just went ahead and put Japan on the back lol???

I can't speak for the others but the listing from Robert's Anime Corner is 100% authentic and ship from the United States. These are imported directly from Japan and produced by Bandai. Thanks!

I think the box said "made in Japan" but I'm not sure. If I find the box, I'll post again.

I'm sorry we lost it when we moved apartments. (must have fell off the truck) Anyway, for the price, I doubt it was made in Japan or the US. It's like a Daiso product. It's Japanese, but made in China (most likely)

Hi, I have this sword and they are just marks on the iron from manufacture. They aren't on my sword in the same places. Its just part of the casting. Hope this helps.

Mine is made in Japan. Works well as it's supposed to. I would buy it again.

Hi Christine, It's definitely not made in Japan. I believe it is Made in China but I don't know 100% because I took the little gold sticker off that said, "Made in XXX." I just know it wasn't made in Japan.

The one that I have was made in Japan. It has worked perfectly for me, but I do not use it on the stove (I get water out of my espresso machine) and I put it in the dish rack when I am done with it, upside down, since some people complained about rust. It is a good device for controlling the water so that the water line does not exceed the initial bloom line inside of the filter.

Yes, it's been a while since I purchased mine but I remember it had the sticker on it. The fact that its made in Japan is great. Love mine!

Made in Malaysia, but final checks are done in Japan. Mine gets used about once every month for 10-15 minutes, and it's been way better than my expectations on a $100 iron. Not quite a professional station, but there's not a better station until you get into $300+ irons.

Nebraska, USA. The cast iron is a little rough, not the best I have ever seen, but surely a hard-working tool. Unfortunate to have to pay so much, but since nobody uses these anymore (except us), not much choice. Old ones are sold as "antiques" and cost an arm and a leg. I'm satisified with this purchase. Hope these comments are helpful.
