A Japanese hibachi is a traditional heating device or fire pot used in Japan to heat rooms and prepare food. The word "hibachi" is derived from the Japanese words "hi" (fire) and "bachi" (bowl), referring to a bowl with fire.

Today, hibachis are still used in traditional Japanese homes, but they have also become popular as decorative objects and collectibles due to their historical and artistic value. Many people use them as decorative elements in their interiors or as plant stands. See less
