Takaoka Metalwork Catfish-kun Incense Burner

"Catfish-kun" is a playful, character-style incense burner cast in iron in the shape of a smiling catfish (namazu) - a whimsical take on the traditional Takaoka metalworking craft. Its rounded, friendly form makes it a fun addition to any desk or shelf, whether or not it is in use.

Takaoka metalworking is a centuries-old casting tradition from Takaoka, Toyama, more typically associated with copperware, but also produces iron pieces such as this one using the same skilled casting techniques.

How to Use

Fill the burner with incense ash, then place lit incense sticks, cones, or charcoal on top of the ash to enjoy the fragrance.
