The White Maple Shell Incense Holder brings a touch of seasonal beauty to your home. Shaped like a clam shell, this porcelain piece recalls the elegance of kai-awase, a Heian-period shell-matching game treasured in Japanese culture. The lid is adorned with hand-painted red and green maple leaves, capturing the vivid colors of autumn in Japan.

Inside rests a smooth porcelain bead in a rich vermilion hue, designed to hold incense securely while allowing ash to gather neatly in the shell. The bead can be removed for easy cleaning, making this piece both practical and enduring.

More than an incense holder, it is a decorative object that invites a quiet moment of reflection. Whether placed in a living room, tea space, or given as a thoughtful gift, the White Maple Shell Incense Holder offers an elegant way to enjoy fragrance while celebrating the gentle rhythm of the seasons.

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.
