In ancient Japan, kitchens were an essential part of the household. However, glass-front cabinets with decorative wooden grilles were not commonly used in ancient Japanese kitchens. Japanese kitchens were typically small and practical, with charcoal stoves, clay pots, and bamboo utensils. The focus was on simplicity and harmony in both the design and preparation of food. Japanese kitchens also often had storage cabinets and shelves to keep ingredients and utensils organized.
