Antique Japanese Hibachi - Hand Carved Wooden Brazier Set With Kanji & Copper Lining

This Antique Japanese Hibachi is a hand-carved wooden brazier set designed for charcoal fire holding, heating, and boiling water. Crafted from a single large tree, this traditional Japanese furniture piece features a dark brown lacquer finish and a copper-lined interior that enhances heat retention and durability. Measuring 8.3 inches high by 11.4 inches wide (21cm x 29cm), the hibachi weighs approximately 3,000 grams, making it a substantial yet functional item for both heating and simple cooking needs. Included is a cast iron hibachi kettle stand (Gotoku) measuring 3.9 inches high by 6.7 inches wide (10cm x 17cm), perfect for placing kettles directly over the charcoal fire for boiling water or tea preparation.

This Japanese brazier set is hand carved with the Kanji character 寿 (Kotobuki), symbolizing congratulations and longevity, along with traditional arabesque and octopus patterns that represent prosperity and auspiciousness. The arabesque design reflects uninterrupted growth and longevity, while the octopus’s eight legs are historically linked to protection against misfortune. These patterns have been popular since the Edo period (1603-1868), making this vintage Japanese grill not only functional but also rich in cultural significance.

The dark brown lacquer finish on the outside offers an aged, elegant appearance while protecting the wood beneath. The copper lining inside improves heat distribution and prevents damage from charcoal ash. The included hibachi kettle stand is made of durable cast iron, allowing safe and stable placement of kettles during use.
