A Unique Design Crafted Through Advanced Metalworking Technology

This incense holder showcases a one-of-a-kind design, utilizing Haiten Kogyo’s distinctive "fitting" technique. It skillfully stacks objects made from various materials—aluminum, brass, and copper—combined in diverse shapes: round, triangular, and square, all while maintaining exquisite balance.
While the metalworking gives it a sleek, modern impression, each piece is meticulously crafted by artisans, imbuing it with warmth and a sense of human touch. The captivating design creates an illusion where each metal appears poised to collapse yet remains perfectly intact, offering a range of expressions that shift with light and perspective. The soft hues and elegant luster of the copper and brass are particularly striking. As the surface oxidizes with use, the colors deepen, allowing you to appreciate the evolving texture.
Accompanying the holder is incense crafted by students supervised by Mr. Hirofumi Okuno, a traditional incense craftsman from Sakai. He teaches students in the evening program at Sakai Technical High School. The students handpick fresh tea leaves grown in Sakai Rishon no Mori (Sakai Plaza of Rikyū and Akiko), and the original incense made from these leaves has a subtly sweet and refreshing fragrance. Both the visual appeal of the incense holder and the refined aroma of the incense seamlessly blend into any setting—be it traditional or modern—quietly enhancing the atmosphere.
