$95.00
Japanese early Showa period rectangular form cypress wood tabako-bon smoker’s hibachi with a removable top containing a small round hole (2 1/2" diameter) designed to hold a cylindrical bamboo holder for pipes and ashes and a larger hole with a copper cylindrical container (about 5 1/4" diameter) for holding charcoal. Recessed side carrying handles. 14” long x 7” high x 8 7/8” deep. The curved sides measure 7/8" in thickness. Weighs 7 lbs. Early 20th century. Very good solid overall condition with typical wear from age and use. There are some burn marks in the wood on the top. The hibachi sits a bit unevenly. It lacks a bamboo holder and one of the tiny handles on top of the copper container. From the Sahuarita, Arizona collection of a former expatriate to Japan in the 1970s.
