Ironware forging
This seems to be a raw material used in ironware forging during the Yayoi period.
Here it is in context:
大澤正己は、弥生時代中期までは中国大陸の可鍛鋳鉄や鋳鉄脱炭鉄片が持ち込まれるが、後期には炒鋼や塊錬鉄といった鍛造鉄器の素材がもたらされたとした（大澤2002・2004）。
Anyone know what this is?

DRI (Direct reduced iron) or Sponge Iron
I have found several pages which lump 海綿鉄 (sponge iron) in with 塊錬鉄. In either case, the process is described as one in which a bloomery is used to directly refine down raw ore, and this is commonly referred to as 'sponge iron' as far as I am aware. This process is also referred to as 'direct iron manufacturing process'
I am including a wikipedia page in English as well here, since I ran out of link space: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_reduced_iron
