The Irori is a sunken hearth, used for keeping the home warm and cooking on the pot hook, or jizaikagi and a lever, often shaped like a fish, allowing the pot to be lower or raised over the fire. It's not known when this type of fireplace was invented, but it was in common use in the Muromachi period (approximately 1336 to 1573). In later houses these were replaced by the Kotatsu - the big warming tables, but this is old-school!

In the real world, these devices were a huge fire hazard and blackened the walls, but these aren't concerns we have to have in Second Life, thankfully. As well as its use in residential dwellings, these fireplaces were also commonly seen in service houses, and tea rooms. Use this as a focal point for your room - a communal seating area - place some kneeling cushions around this beautiful adornment for your traditional asian-styled room. Our version uses high-resolution textures, typical of all Hosoi builds, and has a realistic-looking fire with sound.
