KIKUSUMI
Sadô, or chanoyu (the way of tea), prided among Japan’s traditions, requires the best; even the charcoal used to boil water. Sadô has strict requirements for the size, cut and quality of the charcoal. During the sumi-temae (preparing the brazier and coals) the arrangement of sumi embers are carefully orchestrated. Kikusumi is indispensable for tea presentations.
KENKERA
To fuel the charring process, smaller kunugi branches are packed on top of the raw wood. This kindling also chars, and these kenkera sticks are convenient for everyday use. Their embers flicker and ping pleasantly. The bundles of kunugi kindling branches, called ageki (stacking wood), are carefully prepared by woodsmen using only a billhook.
A moment to enjoy
1.Use a heat-resistant vessel or brazier (filled with ash if possible).
2.Arrange a few kenkera inside. Set alight with fire starter or gas burner.
3.Place a few pieces of kikusumi on top and watch the embers grow.
＃ Caution. High heat may crack ceramic or glass containers. Make room ventilated.
