Tatara is the anicient smelting process of iron in Japan. In recent years, a lot of history fans, the students in junior high school often try to make iron using Tatara for the pleasure. We introduced it into our student's graduation studies to give them hands on trainings since 2000 year. Because there are few research data about the Tatara, we made Tatara furnace by the trial and error. We think students could learn the basic smelting process of iron, and its basic knowledge and concept interestingly and creatively. We will continue to study the Tatara to provide students hands on training from the viewpoints of engineering.
