Samurai Incense Holder Stls

Burning incense is a small ritual, and this gives it some theatre. The holder takes the form of a samurai — armoured, helmed and composed in the way feudal Japanese warrior figures usually are — arranged so that a stick of incense sits with the smoke drifting up past the figure rather than off the edge of a saucer. It comes as a multi-part set. It belongs in the sort of room where incense already gets burned: a bedside table, a meditation corner, a bookshelf beside the ash tray. Because the shape reads as a small sculpture first and a functional object second, it still holds a shelf when nothing is lit. Anyone drawn to Japanese-influenced decor, samurai iconography, or simply tired of resting incense on a folded piece of card will find this an easy print to justify.
