charcoal brazier
A traditional Japanese heating device consisting of a container filled with ash and burning charcoal.
Etymology
火 (fire) + 鉢 (bowl/pot)
Widely used in Japan before the adoption of modern heating systems. Now mostly seen as antiques or decorative items, though some traditional establishments still use them.
Cultural note
Traditional 火鉢 are often made of ceramic, wood, or metal. They contain ash (灰) with burning charcoal (炭) placed in the center for heating.
Watch out
The word "hibachi" in English often refers to small portable grills for cooking, which differs from the traditional Japanese meaning.
