OFURO BASIC

13 Elements of Ofuro focuses on the functional design aspects what makes Ofuro an Ofuro. In the mind of the Japanese people, all of the studies and tips that go around among in the past several decades expect these Elements almost as prerequisites for you to already possess in your home.

Outside Japan, normally people tend to imagine a Japanese bath to be an independent wooden tub as Ofuro, but that is actually not accurate, and outdate over 200 years. Half a century Japan has developed an auto-fill & reheat system with the material of the bathtub that you have much easier time washing like a polished dish.

Let alone the biggest Japanese brands such as TOTO, Lixil, Noritz or Rinnai have the exhibits in towns in Japan who almost only offer these Elements as the standard design as part of your house. That is the actual Ofuro, and we call the room of Ofuro, Yokushitsu, also Ofuro. We call the showring and bathing altogether Ofuro. These 13 Elements essentially complement one another to make your time in life and your home the most efficient, relaxing and refreshing clean space.

And I remind you, this secret is a very normal thing among Japanese people they take it for granted. It is a chance you acquire this knowledge and help the Japanee re-appreciae the ultimate design of the 13 Elements.
