We are honored to be working with the 16th generation of the Suzuki Family on this modern interpretation of a cast iron incense burner.

The design is inspired by a lotus flower bud as well as the POJ Studio’s logo. It symbolizes the ecosystem that POJ Studio is trying to nurture, where nature, craft, design, and storytelling come together to build community.

This piece includes the incense burner and a pack of white ash.

The burner is compatible with all forms of incense that we offer, so you can enjoy the full range knowing you’re getting the best aromatic experience.

FREE SHIPPING on orders $300+ USD. Our products are shipped from Japan and may be subject to import duties, which are the responsibility of the buyer. Import duties are not covered by free shipping.

Suzuki Morihisa

The Suzuki Family is one of the most respected families in the iron casting industry, with origins reaching as far back as 1625. The presiding CEO and our direct collaborator, Suzuki Shigeo, has partnered with brands and exhibitions as varied as Apple, Lexus, Suntory, and Honolulu Fashion Week. The Studio’s products are so sought after that it’s not unusual for their works to have a years-long waitlist.

Kayoko Stäheli-Shinohara

This incense plate is designed by Founder Tina’s mother, Kayoko. Kayoko inspired POJ Studio by exposing Tina to artisans across Japan, where she learned about the struggles of traditional craftspeople.

Kayoko has played a key role not only as an inspiration for the company’s founding but as a consultative partner. She has introduced POJ Studio to many of the artisans we work with today, including our partners on the Cast Iron Collection.

How to use
Leaf, cone, and uzumaki incense can be placed on top of the ash to burn safely. Sen incense can be stuck in the ash to stand upright.
A burner can also be used for smokeless incense, where ash is used to help release the purest form of the fragrance from aromatic wood:

Light a piece of charcoal and bury it under the ash.
Aromatic wood chips are then placed on top of where the charcoal is buried, separated by a thin layer of ash.
The heat will make the wood chips release the purest form of fragrance.

Care

Keep your cast iron ware in a dry, well-ventilated place to prevent rusting.
The best way to remove ash residue is simply to brush or wipe it off with a dry dishcloth.
If washing to remove ash residue, please rinse with plain water, do not use soap or a scrub brush, and dry thoroughly to ensure no moisture is left behind.
For products with grooves, use a blow dryer to ensure all nooks are well-dried.
