10 witty remarks:
Very cool! :) Those are certainly old fashioned, and heated in an old fashioned manner too - with wood. Great choice for the Hunt this week. :)

Very nice! I especially like the kettle... they sure don't make them like that anymore, at least not here in the U.S.
Oh i love the very old looking kettle. Great shots! Happy weekend!
I love old-fashioned displays, seeing how things were done before modern technology came about. I wonder what the future holds for us . . .
thank you for the view of old Japan...I love how the sand/ashes are raked in the bottom shot :-)
Dragonheart & Merlin- I can't imagine cooking and heating with wood these days. I quite like my electricity!
JC- You can still find cast iron kettles here sometimes but they're heated on gas stoves not over wood fires these days.
Utah Mommy- Thanks for stopping by.
Literary Feline- And technology moves so fast nowadays who knows where the future will take us.
Janet- I hadn't even paid attention to the sand, I was more interested in the shadow. :P
I am imagining yummy kama-meshi with these old rice cookers!!
Gee... it almost reminded me my grandmother's kitchen... she always cooked with wood and fire...
Grace- mmmm...
quintarantino- I love seeing old style kitchens but I don't think I'd actually want one for myself. I can't imagine giving up my microwave and electric kettle! :P
i want to try cooking in those ... :D great for nabe.. yummy
