Japanese Antique Black Bellows / An objet d'art / 1868-1912s / Wabi-Sabi Mingei
About the Item
This is an old Japanese Bellows.
In Japan, it is called "Fuigo".
It was used in a private house in the Tohoku region of Japan.
To make swords, etc., it is necessary to melt jade steel, which is the raw material, by raising it to an ultra-high temperature of 1,300℃. The device that sends air into the furnace to promote combustion is "Fuigo".
There is an air outlet at the lower center of the main body, and it generates wind by pushing and pulling the piston attached to the box. The wind sent in from bellows is compressed with a high density, which can strongly promote the burning of charcoal. It seems that this structure has not changed since the Kamakura period.
The inner piston is wrapped in something like cotton wool, so that the internal air can be smoothly poured into the vent. There is a little dirt on the fluff.
It is recommended to decorate it as a figurine.
