A hibachi (火鉢), a traditional Japanese brazier once used to heat interiors, of circular form, crafted in black-lacquered wood with an inner copper liner. The body is rounded, with smooth and gently curved edges. Beyond its original function as a charcoal container, this hibachi now stands as a refined decorative object, equally suitable for reuse as an elegant vessel for flowers or plants. Japanese lacquerware (漆器, shikki) represents one of Japan’s most celebrated artistic traditions. These works combine durability and brilliance with intricate decorative techniques such as maki-e and nashiji. ---The hibachi is in very good condition. Minor speckling visible on the lacquer surface. Please refer to the pictures for further details. The item will be carefully packed and shipped via DHL or FedEx, accompanied by the original certificate of authenticity issued by Mastromauro Japanese art gallery based in Milan, Italy. 341
