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.
