Japanese Metal Incense Holder - Sakura

Japanese Sakura Metal Incense Holder for Incense Sticks

This incense holder takes the shape of a cherry blossom, with its five notched petals and raised stamens around the edge. It is one of Japan's most iconic motifs, heralding the arrival of spring and appearing everywhere from kimonos to coins. On a practical note, the central hole holds the incense stick securely in place, while the flat petals catch the ash as it burns. Placed on a desk, shelf or coffee table, it remains a charming little decorative piece even when the incense is not burning, so there is no need to tuck it away between uses.
