A Japanese hibachi is a traditional heating device or fire pot used in Japan to heat spaces and prepare tea. The word "hibachi" is composed of the Japanese terms "hi" (fire) and "bachi" (bowl), referring to a bowl with fire.

Today, hibachis are not only used in traditional Japanese homes but are also cherished as decorative objects and collectibles due to their historical and artistic value. Many people integrate them as decorative elements in their interiors or use them as plant stands. less
