A fire box. The fixed, box-like hearth providing a place for a bed of ashes on
which charcoal is burned to heat a kettle of water to make the tea served at a
tea ceremony. There are two types: sumihitsu YC and dodan yd. The
sumihitsu is about 1.5cm deeper than the dodan but otherwise they
are similar. They reach a depth of about 45cm below the surface of the straw mat
*tatami τ and are usually
made of cypress, lined with coarse clay approximately 7cm thick. The soil for
the clay is brought from Inari ξΧ in Kyoto and is mixed with finely chopped ivy
leaves. Special paper, called tengujou Vη, is pasted on the four top corners
which are then covered with a thin layer of fine clay. The inside area measures
29 square cm by about 45 cm deep. A frame *robuchi
F, is set on top of the clay-lined box level with the surface of the tatami.
The clay-lined cypress fire-box is considered the most formal, and those made
of stone, iron, copper and even ceramic are used for informal occasions. Fire-resistant
stones used for the stone rodan were obtained from Kurama Ζn, Izu Ι€ and
Nikkou ϊυ. In about November, the portable brazier *furo F, is replaced by the fixed hearth, and the fire-box is re-plastered . When the clay lining is dry, the box is filled with the desired amount of ash. |
