Incense holders in ceramic, glass, brass and wood for Japanese incense sticks

Each piece in this collection is suited to Japanese incense sticks and combines function with Japanese craft aesthetics:

  • Ceramic holder – Nippon Kodo Yume No Yume — Flat ceramic dishes with Japanese autumn motifs such as the maple leaf. Designed for the slightly wider Yume No Yume incense sticks by Nippon Kodo, in two seasonal designs.
  • Glass holder – Nippon Kodo — Clear glass trays with an integrated brass fitting. Timeless, easy to maintain and at home in any modern or traditional interior.
  • Brass holder – classic — Compact round brass holder with several openings. Stable, heat-resistant and ideal for everyday use.
  • Beech wood holder – Kunjudo — A long, understated holder in beech wood by Kunjudo. Natural, warm and quiet — a classic Japanese style.

How to choose the right Japanese incense holder

The Yume No Yume ceramic holders are designed specifically for Nippon Kodo incense sticks with a slightly wider diameter. The glass, brass and wood holders suit most standard Japanese incense sticks. All holders should be placed on a stable, heatproof surface.

These Japanese incense holders also make a thoughtful companion gift alongside Japanese incense sticks, or a carefully chosen small present.
