Boiling the kettle, the old way.
Everytimes you visit an old Japanese house you see those square fire pits with a big hook hanging, sometimes with a kettle or a cauldron.
But it is very rare to see this pit used with a fire burning, and a kettle boiling. We had the chance to see this, and suddenly realised another aspect of life in the old times… that of the smell because this fire smelled terribly good, everywhere in the house.
