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!!

quintarantino,  Sun Jan 27, 08:00:00 PM  

Gee... it almost reminded me my grandmother's kitchen... she always cooked with wood and fire...

tanabata,  Mon Jan 28, 01:29:00 PM  

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
