Elegance Imbued in Simple Colors

The Essence of Refined Kyoto Pottery

Crafted by Taihei Kiln, a renowned Kyoto pottery workshop that continues the tradition of Kyoto and Kiyomizu ceramics, this series of small lidded boxes represents the zodiac signs with intricate designs.

The warm ivory color is a traditional hue known as "Kōrai," inspired by East Asian pottery traditions.

Crafted with carefully selected clay and glazes by Taizo Hirano, the head of Taihei Kiln, the piece boasts an ivory-like texture that exudes luxury and sophistication.

The golden accents are made from high-purity gold materials, adding an elegant shine and refined luster to the design.

The intricate sculpting of the animals uses ivory and shadows alone, allowing their features to emerge with delicate detail.

This compact yet striking box is perfect for storing accessories or cherished items, making it a functional yet elegant addition to your collection.

It also makes an ideal gift, especially for someone celebrating their zodiac year.

Incense holders, traditionally used in tea ceremonies, are beloved for their elegant design and hand-sized proportions, which make them popular for purposes beyond incense.

With its simple yet refined texture, it also complements home decor beautifully.
