With this incense holder inspired by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki's In Praise of Shadows, Patrick Carpentier pays direct homage to traditional Japanese aesthetics. It is a world where wabi-sabi—the beauty of imperfection, simplicity, and the passage of time—and mingei—folk art, the beauty of humble and timeworn objects—find their full expression in the appreciation of soft light, subtle textures, and veiled reflections. Together, these elements reveal the mystery and nobility hidden in darkness.
This incense holder comes with a box of Japanese Nippon Kodo incense, crafted by a house that has produced high-quality incense since 1575, combining over 400 years of tradition with modern techniques.
