Square porcelain incense-holder with traditional design made in Japan
In Japanese, Mame means bean, dot and sturdy.
The Mame motif on this incense-holder is part of the traditional Shibori style. Practised since the 8th century in Japan, this process involves knotting fabrics together before dyeing them, to produce repetitive patterns with beautiful symmetries.
Mame is a symbol of good health and longevity in Japan.
The traditional design of this magnificent Mamé incense holder will add a zen touch to your home decoration !
