A furo is a tool used to light a fire and hang a kettle on it. Until Juko Murata first opened the hearth in a four-and-a-half tatami mat room, and Joo Takeno and Sen no Rikyu decided how to prepare the tea ceremony, the furo was used in the tea ceremony regardless of the four seasons. However, currently, the furo is used separately for summer and winter, and the furo is generally used from early May, around May 5th, to early November, around November 8th. . Of course, even in winter, if there is no fireplace, we use a furo.
