Description
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.

Arita Ware
Arita ware, Japan’s first porcelain, originated in the early 17th century in the town of Arita, Saga Prefecture. Using pure porcelain stone sourced from the mountains of Amakusa, artisans created brilliantly white ceramics that quickly became celebrated for their beauty and strength. During the Edo period, Arita grew into a major center of porcelain production, with its works exported to Europe through the port of Imari, where they captivated collectors and royal courts alike. Today, Arita ware continues to embody the harmony of artistry and function, bringing timeless elegance to modern dining around the world.Incense Holder
Japanese incense holders were introduced to Japan in the 6th century from China and Korea for use in Buddhist temple rituals and ceremonies. Today, we enjoy them in personal spaces to burn incense for fragrance and a peaceful environment. Modern holders are typically made of metal, ceramic, or wood and range from traditional or contemporary designs that can be whimsical or minimalist.Shipping & Return
