Incense Holders — The Complete Trio – Chōjū-giga Series

This set brings together all three Chōjū-giga incense holders—frog, rabbit, and monkey—into one quiet, intentional grouping.

Inspired by the famed Chōjū-jinbutsu-giga scrolls, often considered the earliest expression of Japanese caricature, these figures capture animals in motion: expressive, playful, and unmistakably human. Each holder is cast in metal with a simple, grounded presence that feels equally at home on a shelf, desk, or altar.

While each figure can stand on its own, seeing them together changes the experience. The trio introduces variation—different gestures, different moods—inviting you to choose a companion that fits the moment. Calm one day. Curious the next. Light-hearted when it’s needed most.

Used with incense, they transform a small daily act into something personal and slightly unexpected. Even unlit, they remain quietly expressive objects—small reminders that ritual doesn’t need to be solemn to be meaningful.

• Set includes frog, rabbit, and monkey incense holders
• Each figure holds a single incense stick at an angled position
• Cast metal with a solid, weighty feel
• Designed for stick incense (incense not included)
• Each piece comes individually boxed

This complete set is ideal for those who appreciate the charm of Chōjū-giga, enjoy rotating objects with mood and season, or simply want a thoughtful, cohesive way to incorporate incense into everyday life.
