This stunning porcelain shell has been carefully designed to hold incense sticks and capture falling ash. The gloss black enamel of this sophisticated incense holder is painted with a motif of autumn maple leaves. A small porcelain pearl is included, nesting perfectly in the center of the gorgeous shell. The imperial-red pearl is drilled with a center hole, providing a base to securely hold your incense sticks—and the pearl is removable for easy cleaning of the shell. Those familiar with the ancient Japanese game of Kaiawase will recognize the similarity this stunning shell set has to the centuries-old game, a nostalgic nod to Japanese traditions.

Japanese Incense

The Japanese incense culture was introduced from India and China along with Buddhism around the 6th century. Initially, incense was used in temples for religious ceremonies. However, during the Heian period (794–1185), nobles began creating "takimono," blends of aromatic materials, to scent their rooms and clothing. This marked a shift from religious to secular use, integrating incense into daily life. In the Edo period (1603–1868), incense stick manufacturing techniques were introduced from China, leading to widespread use among the general populace. Today, incense is cherished for relaxation and enhancing living spaces, reflecting Japan's unique aesthetic and lifestyle.

Arita Ware

Arita porcelain originates from an area known as Arita on the Island of Kyushu, Japan. It is known as the birthplace of fine Japanese porcelain, and the artisans of Arita have produced exceptional ceramic works for more than 400 years. The beautiful contrast between the porcelain and the hand-painting is obtained by using exceptionally high-quality porcelain stone, allowing the glazed surface to display a distinct glossy mirror with a rich ivory luster.
