Hibachi, Braziers 火鉢　




quote
The hibachi (火鉢, "fire bowl") is a traditional Japanese heating device. It consists of a round, cylindrical or a box-shaped open-topped container, made from or lined with a heatproof material and designed to hold burning charcoal.

In North America, the term "hibachi" is used to refer to a small cooking stove heated by charcoal (actually called shichirin in Japanese), or to an iron hot plate (teppan) used in Teppanyaki restaurants.

Although the word is Japanese and the device is strongly associated with Japan, the hibachi originated in China as a type of portable charcoal brazier used to heat the homes of the nobility. It is not known when the hibachi was first used in Japan; however written records suggest that it was used by the Heian period (798-1185AD). Owing to the low availability of metal in China and Japan, early hibachis were made from dug-out cypress wood lined with clay.

Traditional hibachis can be very attractive objects in themselves and are today sometimes sold as antiques.

frost has come,
but a wild pink blossom
on the wooden brazier

after the frost comes
a pink blossom remains on
the wooden brazier

Written in the winter of 1690 元禄3年冬。

This is an allusion to the waka by
. Fujiwara no Teika 藤原定家 .

霜さゆるあしたの原の冬枯れにひと花咲ける大和撫子

On a day with frost there is just one flower blossoming in the winter-withered field -
a Yamato Nadeshiko.

okechoo, okemachi、桶町 Okecho, "Bucket district" in Edo
Many bucket makers lived in this area.



There was also a famous well with delicious water, yuzuri no i　譲りの井 "the Heritage Well". The owner of this well sold the cold waster to passers-by during the hot summer months, one cup for one Mon　(文). His son inherited the well and the business, hence the name.

In March 10 / 11, 1641, there was a great fire in Oke-machi 桶町火事. More than 400 people lost their lives and 123 homes of Samurai were burned down.
The fire started in the home of a medicine maker (薬師 kusushi) named Matsuo　松尾, and spread fast in the strong wind.
The home of the Government official 大目付　Ometsuke 加賀爪忠澄 Kagatsume Tadazumi (1586 - March 11, 1641) burned down and he died in the fire.
After this fire, the Shogun Iemitsu established a firebrigade of the Daimyo, 大名火消 Daimyobikeshi.
