Ginyo Silver Mica Plate for Kodo – 1 Piece
Ginyo is a thin silver-rimmed mica plate used in the Japanese incense ceremony (Kodo) when appreciating fragrant wood. It is placed on top of a piece of charcoal buried in the ash, and the wood chip is set on the plate so it is warmed gently rather than burned directly.
This heat-diffusing plate lets the delicate aroma of agarwood and other fragrant woods unfold slowly and cleanly, making it an essential tool for those practicing Monko (listening to incense).
