Kitowa Octagon Porcelain Incense Stand

If the people who have created your incense sticks have gone to the lengths they have to make sure you get maximum pleasure from burning them, shouldn't you also find the best burner to make them look good and the whole experience richer? The Kitowa Octagon Porcelain Incense Stand isn't a burner, just a stand, but the moment you take it out of the box, you'll immediately realize it's so more than just a piece of pottery with a hole in the middle!

First of all, it's made of two pieces: the actual stand and a surrounding plate. Then the design: using an octagonal shape, for both the plate and the stand, the designers of the Kitowa Octagon Porcelain Incense Stand have made the whole set look nothing like regular incense stands. As a matter of fact, if you see it without a stick, you might think it's a porcelain ornament. And then there's the porcelain itself: made in Saga Prefecture on the island of Kyushu, it's a perfect specimen of Akita-yaki porcelain, a ceramic tradition going back 400 years!
