What is that?
Aug. 15th, 2011 02:17 pmWhat is that?
One of the TV shows recently consisted of showing a panel various pictures, along with some hints -- and having them try to guess what the object in the picture was. They had a variety, but one that caught my attention was pretty simple.
Basically, there was a wooden base, with a built-in drawer. On top of that was a short stand, with another box on top of that. The top box had a wooden grating as its top. Taking that off, the box itself was filled with fine white sand or ash. The grating and lip of the box was designed so that the grating did not rest on the inner sand.
Interestingly, they said that this used to be something that almost every house (in Japan) had.
( ho, ho, ho... )
And it smells good, too.
