Kohgen Original Monkoh Incense Burner (Seto Ware)

Kohgen Original Monkoh Incense Burner (Seto Ware)

This Kohgen original monkoh incense burner is carefully crafted in Seto ware, with close attention given to both usability and refined appearance. Featuring soft, pastel-toned glazes, each piece has a gentle and calming presence that blends naturally into a variety of settings.

Designed specifically for listening to incense (monkoh), this incense burner was developed with a focus on being easy to hold and resistant to heat buildup. Subtle adjustments were made to its shape, thickness, and balance so that it feels comfortable in the hand without being either too heavy or too light.

In addition to visual beauty and ease of use, this incense burner was created as an accessible introduction for those who have not yet experienced aromatic woods but wish to try monkoh. By keeping the design simple and production efficient, the series is offered at a modest price while maintaining high quality.

Glaze Design

Among the many design considerations, special emphasis was placed on how the glaze is applied. While glazing the entire surface would simplify production, this approach was intentionally avoided. To prevent heat from accumulating, the glaze is carefully omitted from the base and from the interior areas concealed by ash, ensuring better heat control during use.

Weight and Balance

The thickness of the incense burner was precisely adjusted to achieve a balanced weight that feels secure in the hand without unnecessary heaviness. This thoughtful design supports comfortable handling over extended use.

Due to the handmade nature of this product, glaze application and subtle details may vary from piece to piece. Please note that actual colors may differ slightly from photographs depending on monitor or browser settings.

Special Offer

As a special promotion, each purchase of this product includes one complimentary pack of Miyoshi Incense Burner Ash. This fine ash is specially prepared for monkoh use and allows you to begin enjoying incense listening immediately.
