Portable Cooking Stove KOHETTUI 1
Since the ancient times, Japan has a culture of “earth”. Earth taken from nature was adapted into everyday life, and the human creating skill had been polished. However, now, due to the spread of the dry construction method, skills and craftsmen decrease, as the use of cooking stoves due to the changing life style.In order to save these two cultures:
1. Reintroduce the beauty of old age earthen crafting,
2. Promote the ancient culture of fire,
for these reasons the KOHETTUI was born as a tool with the concept of “having everyone surrounding the cooking stove”.
It is made by the traditional manufacturing method for the cooking stove, in the conventional Japanese design, made to be portable. The finishing of the surface employs traditional Japanese plasterer’s method of the Otsu Migaki.
