With a mirror-like bronze finish and a rounded, low-profile body, the set includes a Japanese bronze tea brazier in Dōan-style furo design crafted from Takaoka copperware that accommodates a variety of kettles for chanoyu use. This handcrafted, ready-to-use brazier pairs a cast-iron gotoku kettle stand with a black lacquered shikiita floorboard and arrives with its wooden box. Weighing about 4,400 g and measuring approximately 19 cm high by 33 cm wide, it shows a refined luster, subtle age-related scuffs, and a minor internal bulge beneath the lower edge while remaining sturdy, stable, and fully serviceable for tea ceremony presentation today.

* Included: brazier, cast-iron gotoku, lacquered shikiita floorboard, wooden box

* Compatibility: designed to accommodate a variety of kettles (chagama not included)



Design & Craftsmanship

This Dōan-style furo reflects Takaoka copperware techniques and a form associated with Furuta Dōan’s design lineage. The rounded, substantial body and prominent front opening give the brazier a grounded presence ideal for formal chanoyu settings or as a statement piece of Japanese metal decor. The surface shows the warm, mirror-like luster unique to copper and the patina that complements wabi sabi decor sensibilities. The gotoku is cast iron, shaped to support a chagama securely atop the brazier when in use.


Function & Use

Prepared for immediate use, the set functions as an authentic tea tool for tea ceremony presentation or as a collector’s antique brazier. The brazier’s low profile and stable base make it suitable for traditional tea-room placement; the included lacquered shikiita protects a floor surface and frames the brazier visually. While the chagama (tea kettle) is not included, the cast-iron tea kettle stand accepts a variety of kettle shapes and sizes used in practice or display.


Condition Details

This handcrafted piece is in very good overall condition for its age. Minor surface scuffs, small scratches, and faint signs of wear are present and consistent with a used chanoyu utensil. A discreet edge along the lower section and a slight internal bulge beneath it are noted; these do not affect the brazier’s structural stability or practical use. The finish remains attractive and the piece retains its original weight and balance.


Why collectors and practitioners choose this piece

Collectors of Takaoka copperware and practitioners of the tea ceremony will appreciate the brazier’s authentic form, substantial weight, and historical Dōan-style silhouette. As both a functional tea kettle stand and a decorative object, it suits ceremonial chanoyu use and interiors that favor handcrafted metalwork and traditional Japanese metal decor.
