More than a simple incense burner, it’s the key tool at the core of the ancient ritual of incense listening, rather than burning. A modern descendant from an era of profound refinement, when the incense practice was perfected into the art of 香道 Xiāngdào (The Way of Incense).

Touched by the rising hot air, here the materials release their essence and fragrance by sublimation
