About the Item

An authentic Japanese hibachi, traditionally used as a portable brazier for heating and tea preparation. Crafted from wood with a warm patina, this piece retains its original metal interior and comes complete with traditional tools — a rare find in such complete form. The exterior bears signs of gentle wear and age, revealing its history and enhancing its wabi-sabi character. The interior, designed to hold charcoal, remains intact, reflecting its original purpose. Today, this hibachi can be repurposed in versatile ways — as a distinctive tabletop display, a planter for seasonal arrangements, or a unique container for storing small objects. It can also serve as an elegant focal point in an interior as a unique touch of the artistry and craftsmanship of early 20th-century Japan.
