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.
The old tubs look cute and cozy and made for a very small person. I doubt I'd feel comfortable in any way. Although I have a claw foot tub, I use the shower nozzle taking a short military shower. I'd have to install me something similar in an old house but I love all the great wood worked craftmanship gone into them.
Definitely more efficient in terms of water use than a Western tub. The traditional furo or ofuro definitely were a fantastic way to relax and restore. Most Americans can't imagine it because its not familiar. I built one interpreting an Irish contact's interpretation of one. Its nowhere near as refined as a traditional one or his but quite effective nevertheless. The experience reminded me a bit of a floatation tank. Incredible how little water it took to come up to my neck. Near buoyant there is no pressure on the joints, no sense of being cramped. I had mine wheeled outside during a bad heat wave here with the furo's water temperature between 80-85. It was so restorative I could have zoned out for hours instead after 30 minutes. The effects lasted for hours afterwards.
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 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.
I love how much you love your watering can. I think it is thee best thing I have seen for a decade. Thank you

Can you give more info of the irish tub contact and your tub construcción thank you !!
Thanks you for sharing this video, could you please give de exterior dimensión and thickness of the Wood of the first one you showed.
How do they make the connection from metal heat box to wood waterproof? I want one.
It’s real sad that no one makes them anymore :(
Bathtub OFURO by MAOMI
They make in ROmania, Butoaie de Vanzare is called
@@mariusboda thank you
@@mariusboda God bless you!
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
Clever bathing arrangements!
We make these in Romania, but no heat exchanger.
Splendid🌻 thank you for sharing 💖🍀🙏
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??
