This Incense Holder is inspired by Japan’s oldest form of manga, the Chōjū Giga scrolls (鳥獣戯画), which humorously depict animals behaving like humans. These iconic scrolls, often seen as a satirical commentary on human nature, feature lively characters like the frog, known for its dynamic energy. Handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, this incense holder captures the essence of the frog, a symbol of transformation and good fortune in Japanese culture. The frog’s playful pose mirrors the scrolls, where your incense replaces the object it holds, making it a charming and functional piece for any space.
