Japanese Ceramic Incense Burner

Why We Love This

As soon as we laid eyes on this rich blue incense holder we had to add it to our collection. Smartly crafted with vents in the lid, disguised as design features, it allows the scent of incense to escape. Set perfectly on three legs, it is counterbalanced by a little knob on top.

Story

Nippon Kodo is devoted to bringing the culture of incense to the world and this little burner does just that. The two-piece, tripod-style ceramic incense burner is painted a deep blue known as Turkish Blue. Burning incense creates a sensory experience that is part of a ritual for deeper living. A perfect way to practice the art of incense, the burner’s shape allows fragrance to transform a room. Cherishing the ancient Japanese tradition of incense as part of daily life, this incense burner honors the past but is modern in its design. It comes in a wooden box.

They use the finest materials including fragrant woods and natural ingredients found in the deep forests of Japan and in several Southeast Asian countries to create varied and original scents. Fully dedicated to the practice of incense, for several decades they have offered ongoing Kodo Kyoushitsu or art of fragrance classes to pass down the history and depth of Japanese fragrance culture.
