THANK YOU!!! I've been searching for quite a while for this particular type of bath an information over it! I recently became interested in ingenious japanese bathing technology (cuz im sick and tired of prisoner experience of only showering) and remember seeing an old documentary about danchi (public housing) from the 1960s and they had exactly the same gas burner in a wooden tub like this. If you get an old and dried up wooden bath that leaks, dont worry, just fill it up and add rice starch into the water, heat it perhaps and let it like this for about an hour, leaks will stop. i seen this technique used to restore an old bathtub in a video from a singaporean fellow who bought an old japanese house, i think channel name name was Ryunohara or similar. Anyways, even tho i will never sit or enjoy your lovely soaking in these two baths, am super happy you saved them! may they loyally serve you for years.
Indeed; thank you. It's not the Japanese tub I'm so thrilled about. It was your watering can shower hack. What a good idea for off grid living. Talk about an energy saver.
I had a slightly different style of this type of bath. No gas burner underneath, just a simple copper pot bellied burner built inside the bath, that used wood and charcoal to directly heat the water surrounding it, .........Japanese ingenuity at it's best.
saw a movie back in probably the 80s (probably JPN made) where an American stayed w/ a Japanese family after his plane crashed... they had a single-user bath of wood seemingly a bit taller and more boxy than these with a wood-fed stove below the seat portion
Could you tell me the dimensions of your baths please? Im trying to get information on these baths because i would like to re create one quite similar to this one
I love how much you love your watering can. I think it is thee best thing I have seen for a decade. Thank you

Clever bathing arrangements!
It’s real sad that no one makes them anymore :(
Bathtub OFURO by MAOMI

@@mariusboda thank you
@@mariusboda God bless you!
We make these in Romania, but no heat exchanger.
How do they make the connection from metal heat box to wood waterproof? I want one.

stayed w/ a Japanese family after his plane
crashed... they had a single-user bath of wood

Fantastic content thank you.
Excellent share thank you🙏🏼
Japanese woodwork is beautiful
Where can i by one?
What are the dimensions of this ofuro?
What is the traditional type of wood used for these. I was in Japan in 1994 and my buddies house had a square wood version.
Hinoki, a type of cypress native to central Japan that is very fragrant.
Could you tell me the dimensions of your baths please? Im trying to get information on these baths because i would like to re create one quite similar to this one
any luck??
