A Japanese hibachi is a traditional fire pot used in Japan to heat spaces and prepare food. The word "hibachi" is derived from the Japanese words "hi" (fire) and "bachi" (pot), referring to a pot with fire. Nowadays, 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 interior and use these 'fire pots' as unique plant stands.
