Stability and Durability Unique to Stone
This substantial incense stand is made from a cross-section of stone. Stick incense can be inserted into the hole at the edge. Its weight prevents lit incense from falling over, while the wide cross-section effectively catches ash. Fully washable and easy to maintain, it's designed for long-term use.
Stability and durability unique to stone
Kurama stone is a type of granite from Kurama in northern Kyoto. With limited production, stones currently in circulation are quite rare. Appreciated as a 'wabi-sabi stone', it has been used and admired in tea garden lanterns and as garden stones. Originally a white stone with black and grey speckled patterns, it contains iron that causes the surface to turn brown over many years, creating contrasting appearances between exterior and interior. Another highlight is the contrast between the sides, which preserve the natural brown patina, and the top surface, meticulously polished by artisans after cross-sectioning.
