Features & Cultural Context
-
Mt. Fuji Design: The body features a dynamic, raised relief of Mt. Fuji. The snow-capped summit is depicted using what appears to be silver inlay or overlay, creating a striking contrast against the reddish-brown copper patina. Detailed pine trees with similar silver accents adorn the sides, symbolizing longevity.
-
Craftsmanship: Signed "Yoshimasa" (義正) on the bottom. The vessel is cast from high-quality bronze with a substantial thickness and weight (7.6 kg / 16.7 lbs for the pot alone).
-
Accessories: Includes a unique "Oribe-style" ceramic tripod (Gotoku) with green glaze accents and a pair of metal tongs (Hibashi) featuring charming bird-shaped handles.
Usage & Decor Ideas While traditionally used for heating with charcoal, this large and sturdy hibachi is perfect for modern repurposing. It makes an extraordinary wine cooler (filled with ice), a sophisticated planter cover for a bonsai or large indoor plant, or simply a standalone Zen art piece for a living room or entryway.
