$ 48.00
This understated incense burner is a serene way to enjoy kodo (the art of appreciating incense). Simply add your favorite incense (it may need to be resized to fit) to the included base and place the lid on top to enjoy.
About Incense in Japan
Incense burning in Japan dates back to the 6th century when visiting Buddhist priests would use incense in ceremonies and rituals. Ever since, incense has been an important part of Japanese culture beyond the spiritual. Samurai warriors would prepare for battle by purifying their minds and helmets with incense, and tea masters still burn incense at the beginning of the tea ceremony. Kodo (the art of appreciating incense) is even considered one of the three classical arts of refinement. Incense-making has always been a craftsman and family affair- many current Japanese incense companies have been in business for over 300 years.

Sashiko Embroidered Place Mat
$ 30.00
This placemat was created through a collaboration between artist Toshiyuki Fukuda and sashiko embroidery artisan Kenichi Ohazama. Fukuda and Ohazama utilized a wide range of techniques to translate abstract illustrations onto fabric with mathematical precision. The sturdy textile is made from 100% cotton woven into a strong quilted jacquard weave that easily washes away spills. Each Sashiko placemat is individually cut from a larger textile, making each pattern slightly different from the others.
About Sashiko Embroidery
Sashiko, which translates to “little stabs” in Japanese, is a hand-sewing technique that originated in ancient Japan. Sashiko stitches were traditionally used to decorate and repair homespun peasant clothes in times where resources were scarce. Using geometric patterns with common motifs like waves, mountains, bamboos, or overlapping diamonds, sashiko combined decoration with reparation, with its resulting beauty demanding to know: why just mend and make do when you can mend and make better?
Materials: 100% cotton
Dimensions: 17.72" L x 11.81 W
Care: Machine wash in cold water with similar colors and gentle detergent.
