This celadon kōro (incense censer) is designed to be paired with incense ash and tadon charcoal for use in the traditional Japanese way of incense, Kōdō (香道), however, it can also be used to hold and burn incense sticks. Called a kiki-gōro, or te-kōro (聞香炉・手香炉), this style of incense censer has three ‘legs’ or ‘feet’ and a simple cylindrical shape. When filled with ash, it can be used to gently heat kōboku (aromatic woods) using the monkō technique, perfume a room using the soradaki technique, or hold incense sticks and catch their ashes.
This Japanese item ships from the United States.
