Arita Ware Incense Burner – Spring & Autumn Motif (Cylindrical Form)

Arita Ware Incense Burner – Spring & Autumn Motif (Cylindrical Form)

This Arita ware incense burner features the Spring & Autumn motif, a traditional design that expresses the beauty of both spring and autumn within a single composition. The cylindrical form provides a balanced surface for the seasonal imagery, giving the piece a calm yet decorative presence.

The design includes cherry blossoms in full bloom, vivid red maple leaves, and the deep green of evergreen pine. Together, these elements represent the vibrant colors of spring and autumn, symbolizing the changing seasons and the passage of time in Japanese aesthetics.

Arita ware is renowned for its porcelain craftsmanship and clarity of color. In this incense burner, the crisp white porcelain body enhances the contrast and brightness of the painted motifs, allowing each seasonal element to stand out with clarity and elegance.

How to Use

Fill the incense burner with incense ash up to about four-fifths of its depth. Light the tip of the incense, allow it to smolder, and place it gently on the ash without closing the lid. Closing the lid during use may cause the incense to go out.

For smaller incense burners, stick-type incense can be placed upright in the ash. When not in use, close the lid and enjoy the incense burner as a decorative or interior object.

Due to the handmade nature of this piece, slight variations in painting, color tone, shape, or size may occur. These differences are natural characteristics of handcrafted Arita ware.
