Crafted in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture, this incense holder is a product of skilled metal craftspeople who specialize in hand-hammering techniques to create orin (Buddhist bells). Crafted from a single sheet of tin, the metalworkers demonstrate the exceptional malleability of tin by forming a thin sheet that can be repeatedly bent, folded, and flattened without breaking. Each piece is stretched by rolling and is hammered rhythmically to produce surface patterns that also enhance durability. The incense holder can be moulded to form a desired shape.
Size: L13xW3cm
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.
