Ginkgo Incense Holder

This tin ginkgo leaf-shaped incense holder is skilfully crafted by Sumitani Saburō Shōten, a manufacturer of metal crafts established in 1939 in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture. This area is celebrated for its metal casting industry, rooted in bronze craftsmanship that began over 400 years ago. The detailed form of the tin ginkgo leaf demonstrates this historic metalworking skill and knowledge.

Chūbu

The central Chūbu region is predominantly mountainous, home to the rugged Japan Alps with coasts on both the Sea of Japan and the Pacific Ocean. The region's history has been shaped by its strategic position between the great cities of Kyoto and Tokyo with Nagoya at its heart. Niigata lies to the north while Mt Fuji can be found in the south in Shizuoka Prefecture.
