Hello all
I took many photographs while I was away, these were all taken at Tomoo Hamada's place.
The kiln doesn't have a conventional chimney, it flues through the end of the climbing chamber. It must be quite a remarkable sight when it is in full flame.

Bamboo
These split lengths of bamboo are used for feeding salt in to the salt kiln.

I was surprised by how similar so many of the plant species are to the ones at home.

Thank you to share your photos, what a wonderful climbing kiln, it seams the plant species are similar but different than daisies, no ?
ReplyDeleteDoes the kiln have wooden wickets?
