Incense Gift Set - Mino Ware

Product Description

I've put together a small range of exclusive gift sets. This gift set brings together everything you need to engage in the ritual of incense. Save while you spoil someone special, or yourself. 

The ceramic incense vessel is handcrafted in Gifu Prefecture, Japan by ceramicist Kudo Kou. Kudo Kou was certified as a traditional Mino ware craftsman in 2005. The dedication to his handcrafted pottery comes to life with a combination of his own ceramic training, and additional skills passed down from his father Rikuo Kudo.

This range of traditional Japanese incense brings forth the calm and stillness of Japanese temples and transports you to the heart of ancient Japan. 

Simply place the incense censer ash into the ceramic vessel, and add a lit incense stick into the ash to add an element of ritual to your day, and slowly shift the mood of your interior spaces.

Each set includes:

- x1 Ceramic Vessel

- x1 Incense Censer Ash (40g)

- x1 Incense Sticks in Wooden Box (30 sticks / choose between takeka, sumi ink, kotoka, magnolia)
