Visitors to Japan are often surprised at how low-tech certain aspects of life are: despite its technological advances, Japan still does some things the same way it used to hundreds of years ago and one of these things is repelling mosquitoes. Travel anywhere in Japan and the most common method you'll see for fighting summer's tiny bloodsuckers are green herbal mosquito coils. These are frequently nested inside pig-shaped ceramic holders known as kayari-buta. But have you ever seen one like this Tokyo 2020 Olympics Kayari-buta Ceramic Incense Burner?
