Takaoka Metalwork Traditional aromatic Incense Burner

Takaoka Metalwork Traditional Aromatic Incense Burner

This compact, rounded incense burner is decorated with a denpou-mon design, a classic floral relief pattern long used in traditional Japanese metalwork. The seidou-iro (bronze-tone) patina gives the surface a subdued, antique quality that suits both formal and everyday settings.

This piece is a work of Takaoka Metalwork (Takaoka Doki), a metal casting tradition centered in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture, with a history of more than 400 years, crafted by artisan Natorigawa Masashi. Each burner is shaped using traditional sand-mold casting and finished by hand, with the seidou-iro patina applied to bring out a subdued, antique bronze tone in the copper surface.

How to Use

Fill the burner about two-thirds full with incense ash, then place lit incense cones, coils, or kneaded incense on top, or set glowing charcoal into the ash to enjoy fragrant woods.
