The spring awakening of the fern bud
The coiled fern bud evokes the awakening of nature and the gentle strength of new beginnings. This Yume no Yume incense holder presents the motif in the tradition of Japanese painting. You can place an object in your home that brings a little spring freshness to every day of the year, even in the middle of winter, on dark grey mornings.
Hand-painted fine details
The white porcelain base of the holder has been painted by Japanese masters in green shades. The fine brushstrokes show genuine handwork, and each piece is slightly different. It is worth looking at it in side light too, because the thin veins of the fern leaf only become truly visible from up close in a quiet moment.
How to use it with an incense stick
You can insert your usual thin Japanese incense stick into the small hole in the centre of the holder. As the stick burns slowly, the ash falls gently onto the holder, so your furniture does not get soiled beneath it. After use, you can easily wipe away the ash and dust with a soft cloth on the surface.
Where it fits in your home
You can place this piece on your desk, on a bedroom bedside table or on a living room shelf. Thanks to the natural motif, it looks especially good next to plants: in the company of a small potted fern, it forms a really harmonious picture. You do not need to surround it with extra decoration, as it holds its own beautifully.
Cleaning and care
The porcelain is easy to clean, but never put it in the dishwasher. It is enough to rinse it with lukewarm water and dry it with a soft cloth afterwards. If a lot of ash has settled, gently sweep it away with a soft brush. Store it in a dry place and take care not to drop it, because porcelain is fragile.
