A red lacquer Japanese hibachi shaped as a chrysanthemum

A Japanese hibachi, a traditional brazier originally used for heating interiors, modeled in the form of a chrysanthemum and finished in red lacquer.

The smooth and compact lacquered surface highlights the careful workmanship, while the gently flaring walls evoke the opening petals of the flower.

Today, objects of this kind can be reinterpreted as elegant containers for flowers or plants, adapting discreetly to a variety of interior settings. The original metal insert is still present inside, allowing for both practical and decorative use.
