Brasero type hibachi opening by three tirois in natural wood facade of keyaki.a vat receiving embers covered with copper, very nice carpentry work with mortaises, and dovetails. Handles to make it easier to move, removable vats. This authentic, very decorative object can easily form a garden or coffee table (mini-bar). Nice patina, japan, meiji era, late 19th century. Size: Height: 31 cm. Width: 71 cm. Depth: 46 cm. You can see this ad on my personal site: antikeo. On the hibachis: Traditionally used in japan as a means of heating, for cooking, the first were probably wood covered with clay, they were later built of ceramic or wood but the ember tank is then covered with copper.
