Nose Kikuzumi (Chrysanthemum Charcoal)
The Kikuzumi passed down in Nose Town is a premium charcoal featuring cross-sections that resemble the beauty of chrysanthemum petals. Also known by the name Ikeda-zumi (Ikeda Charcoal). When young oak trees are slowly roasted, fine radial cracks form on the surface, creating an appearance much like chrysanthemum petals. It was highly valued in the world of Chanoyu (tea ceremony) from the Muromachi to the Azuchi-Momoyama periods, and it is said that Sen no Rikyu favored its use. Because the collection point was Ikeda, it has also been called 'Ikeda-zumi.' It ignites easily and burns quietly while making a pleasant crackling sound. A masterpiece that combines both beauty and practicality for use in the charcoal ceremony of the tea hearth, it makes even the time spent gazing at the flames feel luxurious.
