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.
A Stone Utensil Brand by Craftsmen from Okazaki, the Stone Capital
INASE is a brand established by Inagaki Stone Company, which has crafted stone statues and lanterns for approximately 100 years in Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture—renowned as a sacred place for stone. Founded with the theme of 'delivering the value of stone to everyone', their stone utensils, created using skilled hand-carving and polishing techniques that highlight the stone's natural qualities, combine the rich texture and diverse expressions unique to natural materials. *As these items use natural stone and are handcrafted, each piece differs in colour, pattern, and shape. Please enjoy this as its one-of-a-kind character.
