By incense, most people think of the thin sticks of various lengths used in pretty much all cultures from India eastwards for religious and aesthetic purposes. Japan is one of those cultures and also like most of them, isn't limited to the sticks: depending on the type of burner you have or the intended purpose of the incense, there are all kinds of different shapes. One of the most practical is the cone because it can stand on its own, so you don't need a special base to keep it upright. The Ori Incense House is a cute and practical accessory for this exact type of incense!
The Ori Incense House is literally a small house for incense cones. It also works with match-type incense, another style that has become quite popular lately. Its dimensions are 23 x 24 x 38 mm (0.9 x 0.94 x 1.5") and you can get it in three different types of metal (stainless steel, bronze, or copper), all cut with precision at a small workshop in a town in Kanagawa Prefecture called Ayase. And as an extra safety measure, they all come with a plate for putting the incense on and an incombustible mat.
