Japanese Cast Iron Incense Holder

A superb and heavy Japanese cast iron incense holder in the shape of a long leaf, handcrafted by Iwachu, a famous foundry in Moriaka (Iwate prefecture). It allows you to burn incense sticks (up to 14cm long), the ash falling safely onto the cast iron or to place an incense cone to burn directly on the cast iron. A cardboard box signed Iwachu protects this incense holder.

Iwachu Foundry, founded in 1902 in Morioka (Iwate Prefecture), is renowned for its cast iron teapots, called Nanbu Tekki. Made using a traditional method, Iwachu pieces are cast in sand molds, then finely polished and enameled to ensure durability and rust-free. This expertise, combining tradition and innovation, has earned Iwachu worldwide recognition for the excellence and elegance of its creations.

Make sure to position the stick straight on the incense holder so that the ashes fall into the plate. Extinguish the incense if you have to leave. Keep out of reach of children. The incense holder will retain heat after being used, wait for it to cool before handling it.
