A stainless steel material with a long oval cross section made for jug handles in Tsubame City, Niigata Prefecture, which has a long tradition of metalworking. The "Round Bar" is formed into a plate shape by crushing a round bar, and is very soft to the hand and to the touch when gripped.

Nabeshiki utilized the characteristics of this material and Tsubame's metalworking technology to finish it with the basic processes of bending, cutting, welding, and polishing. From the homogeneous and industrial appeal of stainless steel material, Nabeshiki is crafted one by one by machining and hand processing, which creates a unique appeal that is neither a conventional craft nor an industrial product.
