White Glazed Incense Burner with Flowing Line Design by Okada Masaru - "The white porcelain reflects the moon's shadows, and a subtle fragrance stirs the breeze."
Introduction: The "fragrant space" created by incense burners
In the tea ceremony, the incense of a single stick announcing the arrival of a guest and the lingering fragrance that wafts through the room after the ceremony quietly announce the passage of time. This incense burner was conceived as a tool to support such an incense room. The tranquil texture of the white glaze and the flowing lines that evoke the wind resonate with each other, and simply placing it in the room creates a clear and refreshing atmosphere.
Characteristics of the design: A three-legged form that embraces the wind
| Attractions | Commentary |
|---|---|
| The dynamics of the tripod | The three gently curved legs create a light, floating feeling. When placed in a tokonoma alcove or on an incense stand, the shadow falls inside, creating the visual effect of an incense cloud rising from beneath the vessel. |
| A flash of flowing lines | The ridges rising from the body to the rim are reminiscent of the moment when the wind blows a white cloth. When you change the viewing angle, the shadows shift, echoing the swaying of the incense smoke. |
| Silver-colored picking | A long, thin silver knob in the center of the lid adds a point of light to the serenity of the white porcelain, elegantly guiding the gesture of picking it up. |
A gentle view of white glaze
The translucent white glaze, like pale snow, changes its appearance subtly from milky white to ivory depending on the color of the light. The thick ridges of the glaze have a subtle luster, while the thinner surfaces have a silky matte finish, revealing multiple textures within the same white.
Arrangements at incense and tea ceremonies
| Purpose | Interest | A little twist |
|---|---|---|
| Early Summer Tea Ceremony | A refreshing stick of mint or agarwood. The cool feeling of the white glaze brings in the fresh green breeze. | Using a slightly tall incense stand so that the shadow of the tripod falls on the tatami mat will accentuate the three-dimensional effect. |
| Night Stories | The rich aloeswood is burned, the silver handle reflects the candlelight, and the white porcelain floating in the darkness deepens the mysterious feeling. | The lights are dimmed to emphasize the shadows of the flowing lines, creating a “gap between light and darkness.” |
| Kodo lessons | When combined with a white incense burner and incense tray, the pure appearance brings out the fine fragrance of the incense wood. | If you light the incense charcoal at a low temperature so that the fragrance slowly rises, the white glaze will not sweat and will maintain its beauty. |
Masaru Okada's creative intent
Okada Masaru, who studied at Gojozaka in Kiyomizu, Kyoto and speaks to nature at the Sumiyama kiln in Uji, has consistently upheld the concept of "as if the wind were blowing leisurely inside and outside the vessel." In this incense burner, the openness of the tripod visualizes the "path of the wind," the flowing lines trace the "trajectory of the wind," and the white glaze and silver color express "tranquility under the moon." Although the fragrance itself cannot be seen, the depiction of "wind and moon" with the shape and color of the vessel allows the user to enjoy the lingering aroma of the incense wood being burned more deeply.
Conclusion
The serenity of the white porcelain, the light of the silver-finished finish, and the flowing lines wrapped in the wind - the White Glazed Streamline Design Incense Burner is a tool that makes the flow of time transparent as the burning incense flows through your body and mind. Every time you pick it up, the incense smoke gently drifts along the ridges of the burner, and the moonlit night breeze floats down on the tea ceremony. Please use it for a long time and enjoy the quiet story that this incense burner nurtures along with the scent of each season.
