The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 20 March 2023 4 Comments

From Obakki in Canada, an incense gift set: "We think these incense burners are the answer to all your incense needs - with a deep bowl that you can fill with sand or pebbles to create a heat resistant base and a high back wall that acts as a windbreak, these stunning pieces can do it all. Made OF Australia's signature series of functional stoneware ceramics - twice fired, once to full vitrification for durability and longevity, then again while sealed in special containers (called saggars) with native Australian flora and organics from indigenous fauna (organic materials like snakeskin, emu and crocodile eggshell, and goose feathers etc.)." Comes with a Waboku incense sampler ("The Hinoki (cypress) is a calm and soothing aroma, the Keyaki (delvoka) is a sweet and exotic scent, uplifting -- and the Kusonoki (camphor tree) is uplifting and powerful.") $131 USD.

A lemming courtesy of Kevin: a Smoking Tiger and Magpie Incense Burner from Pinch of Clay. "This incense burner includes a tiger + matching dish + and a small box of Nag Champa cone incense. The inspiration came from Korean Minhwa (folk art painting), where a tiger hangs out with a magpie in front of a pine tree. In Korea, almost every tale starts with "Back when tigers used to smoke," instead of "Once upon a time";  $120.  For alternatives, see the smaller smoking kitties here and here.

At right, the Cameo incense burner La Gazelle d'Or ("sauntering in the shady gardens of La Gazelle d’Or, one chances upon an incense holder: an oval cameo with the serene gaze of a classical face outlined in relief"), incense sold separately, $340.
