Maple Iron-Mordant Incense Holder No.2

This is BOSAOJI's original incense holder, crafted from dense, hard maple wood and given a unique finish through "iron mordanting."

Iron mordanting is a traditional dyeing technique that reacts iron with components found in wood. Unlike simple coloring, it dyes the maple a deep, quiet, distinctive gray to blackish-brown, while preserving the beautiful wood grain. The charm lies in the profound, ink-wash painting-like shadows that change their appearance depending on the light.

Its modern appearance, where inorganic and natural warmth coexist, beautifully harmonizes with contemporary interiors. While serving the functional purpose of catching incense ash, it also acts as an art object, enhancing the space even when not in use.
