A LARGE PAIR OF LACQUERED HIBACHI (BRAZIER) WITH KIKU BLOSSOMS A LARGE PAIR OF LACQUERED HIBACHI (BRAZIER) WITH KIKU BLOSSOMS Japan, Meiji (1868-1912) to Taisho period (1912-1926) The red lacquer ground of each further layered in yellow, green, and white lacquer and carved with overlapping kiku (chrysanthemum) blossoms. The hollowed interior with a bronze liner. DIAMETER 44 cm Condition: Excellent condition, the interiors with traces of use. The hibachi (lit. fire bowl) is a traditional Japanese heating device. It is a brazier which is either round, cylindrical, or box-shaped, open-topped container, made from or lined with a heatproof material and designed to hold burning charcoal. It is believed hibachi date back to the Heian period. It is filled with incombustible ash, and charcoal sits in the center of the ash. To handle the charcoal, a pair of metal chopsticks called hibashi (lit. ‘fire chopsticks’) is used in a way similar to Western fire irons or tongs. Hibachi were used for heating, not for cooking. It heats by radiation, and is too weak to warm a whole room, often disappointing foreigners who expected such power. Sometimes, people placed a tetsubin (iron kettle) over the hibachi to boil water for tea. Later, by the 1900s, some cooking was also done over the hibachi.
