The Oya Incense Set is a stunning fusion of ancient geology and modern design. it is more than just an incense holder; it's a piece of functional home decor that invites a moment of stillness into your day. Crafted with premium materials sourced directly from Japan, it’s designed for the discerning individual who appreciates quality, history, and mindful living.
The Plate: The Legacy of Oya Stone
The incense plate, carved from Oya stone, is a rare volcanic tuff found only in the Oya district of Tochigi, Japan. This is not just any stone. With an incredible heat resistance of over 1000°C (1832°F), this material has been the trusted choice for traditional hearths, charcoal grills, and kilns across Japan for centuries. This remarkable fire resistance ensures that the plate not only catches ash with utmost safety but also stands as a testament to enduring natural design.
Each plate is one-of-a-kind, showcasing a subtle, porous pattern (Cushion stickers are included). It is a unique expression that tells the story of its geological origins. A protective clear coating enhances its durability while letting the organic, earthy beauty shine through.
The Incense Holder: Geometric Tin Sculpture
Resting on the stone is the Poly incense holder, a multi-faceted piece cast in pure tin. Its modern, icosahedral (20-sided) shape is a work of sculptural art, allowing you to position your incense stick at three distinct angles for a customized burning experience. The Poly is suitable for stick-type incense, whether with or without a bamboo core. A clever through-hole design ensures that removing any leftover incense is effortless.
