Product Information

Osaka, Japan, and especially the area around Hommachi Station is a business district with many build. as an aside, I was asking last year for advice on an efficient wood stove, thinking I might get one of the soapstone wood stoves that are so lauded in the us, and a russian friend said to just stack stones all around my current old iron stove and it would yield the same benefits. I put it in my futon before going to bed, or use it when I want to warm my legs, waist, stomach, or other parts of my body. Please note the name "Jessie" in the images is an example only you may add any name you would like or leave it blank if you prefer no name. Although a soft rubber hot water bottle might be common in your country, flat and oval-shaped yutanpo made of hard plastic is more common in Japan.

Most were made of metal, either brass or copper, and placed inside wooden or ceramic enclosures to prevent skin burns. I tend not to do that nowadays, and I also prefer bottles with covers as they are more comfortable to use and stay hotter longer.

Because rubber or PVC bottles can only be filled up to two-thirds for safe and comfortable use, I assume a somewhat larger model – 3 L – which can hold two litres of water in practice. A friend told me that women in Hamalaya would often tie a folded blanket or cloth around their waist to keep them warm. Also keep in mind that they will get a bit wet on the outside as the ice melts – although this effect only enhances the cooling.

Using an electric kettle – or a pot on the cookstove – makes it easy to reuse the same water over and over again, but it faces some problems too. A third option – a bit harder to find – are plastic hot water bottles without chemical softeners, which are rigid instead of flexible. In many places in the US, men dont’ find it “cool” to wear a warm knit hat and would rather freeze). Sew around the top of the double bag, 1 5/8" down from the top edge to form a channel for the pull cords.

But two bottles, placed back to back and wrapped in a double-bed sheet, were as good as another human in the bed–still warm in the morning.

One alternative to the hot water bottle which is often used in Switzerland is the “Cherry Pits Pillows”/“Cherry Pits Bags”. I’ve seen old timers around here with soapstone blocks stacked up all over and around their woodstoves, increasing the heat mass and slowing and regulating the heat dispursursion. The project aims to increase inbound tourism and pass on traditional skills through Tokyo's traditional crafts, artisan skills, and food culture, which has a history of over 400 years dating back to the Edo period. While both styles do an excellent job of keeping me and my bed warm, I prefer the Japanese one over the rubber version.Discover our extensive range of the best hot water bottles featuring hot water bottles with covers, eco hot water bottles and long hot water bottles.
