Title	Brazier and kettle set
Description	This iron kettle (furo) is paired with a particular kettle (kama) as a set. It is crafted in the kimen style, supported by three legs in a tripod formation. The use of iron rather than bronze evokes an informal feeling. An opening at the front and rear, fashioned in a classic shape associated with The Way of Incense, provides air to the fire, while cut-outs, reminiscent of leaves and fruit, serve as a vent. The "ears" on the furo are fashioned in the shape of demon masks. The rings are always turned upward when in use. The style of this type of brazier and kettle is known as kirikake, as they are designed to be in direct contact with one another rather than the kettle resting on a separate tripod (gotoku) within the furo.
