Indoor Cooking Fire and Pot in Traditional Japanese House

---

A cooking pot hangs over an open fire inside a preserved traditional Japanese house. The house is open to the public as a museum in Tsumago-juku, a historic district in Nagiso Town, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. Smoke from fires has yellowed the paper screens and darkened the wood. Shafts of light from overhead windows illuminate the smoke.
