[Precautions for use] Please place the incense stick straight in the center of the incense burner. - When burning incense sticks, tar (fat) will adhere to the lid hole of the incense burner where smoke comes out. Please rest assured that this is something that comes out more or less when you burn something, and this is not a malfunction.・The amount of resin contained in the smoke depends on the type and quality of the incense stick. Cheap incense sticks that emit a lot of smoke tend to have a lot of tar attached to them.
[Cleaning method] - Clean the tar that adheres by washing it with water or gently wiping it with a wet tissue or damp cotton swab each time.・As the lid engagement is polished and finished, white powder may adhere to the inside of the product. Please wipe it gently before use.
■What is a cylindrical incense burner? This is a horizontal incense burner with a lid that allows you to burn incense sticks lying on their sides. The dome shape with holes on the sides and lid allows for smooth air intake and exhaust.
In addition, a piece of flame-retardant carbon felt (a consumable item) to place under the incense stick is included as an essential item for laying down and burning.
■Advantages of cylindrical incense burners: The lid (incense lid) prevents tar and ash from scattering, reducing the risk of children and pets accidentally touching the incense stick and getting burned. In addition, when burning incense sticks on a small Buddhist altar with a low height, a horizontal incense burner allows you to do so without worrying about the height.
The good thing about it is that it looks beautiful while in use because the remaining ash does not come into direct contact with your eyes. Since the insole is made of carbon felt, there is no need to clean or dispose of straw ash like with regular incense burners, making it easy to clean.
A modern horizontal incense burner made of Mino ware with beautiful delicate patterns.
The most important offerings at Buddhist services are ``incense'', ``flowers'', and ``lights''.
However, in modern times, there are various concerns such as ``My dog or cat might play with the incense burner,'' ``It's dangerous because my child gets interested in the incense burner,'' ``My elderly mother lives alone, and I'm worried about incense burning.'' For these reasons, we have been receiving many complaints about concerns about fire when offering incense.
In order to eliminate such concerns, this horizontal incense burner "Incense Burner" is designed with the user's convenience in mind, and has a simple and compact shape that makes it safer to use.
The size is compatible with 7cm incense sticks, which are generally referred to as mini size. If you have long incense sticks, break them and use them.
It has a stylish appearance even when placed in the living room or entrance as an indoor incense or welcome incense. You can choose from 9 modern Japanese patterns.
It is a very popular item as it can be used as a memorial service item to make the ``heart of a memorial service'' more everyday because it is easy to place near you, or as a stylish incense burner as a gift for someone who loves scents.
■Advantages of cylindrical incense burners
The lid (incense lid) prevents tar and ash from scattering and reduces the risk of children and pets accidentally touching the incense stick and getting burned.
Additionally, if you are burning incense on a small Buddhist altar with a low profile, you can do so without worrying about the height if you use a horizontal incense burner.
The good thing about it is that it looks beautiful while in use because the remaining ash does not come into direct contact with your eyes.
Since the insole is made of carbon felt, there is no need to clean or dispose of straw ash like with regular incense burners, making it easy to clean.
■When do you use it?
It can be used as a modern memorial service item or as an everyday item for burning room incense.
Due to its cute design, it is also popular as an interior incense burner for holding memorial services in your room.
We also recommend the sister product, the Yuihana Tube-shaped Incense Burner, which is longer in width than the incense vessel, making it easier to fold to fit the length of Buddhist incense sticks.
If you want to use it as a memorial service item, we also have a 5-piece set of Yuihana Buddhist altar utensils with the same pattern and flower stand.
■Does sect matter?
It is generally known that ``burning incense horizontally is a Jodo Shinshu sect,'' but it can be used regardless of sect, at least when it comes to hand-held memorial services.
However, if you are using the incense burner as a Buddhist altar in a sect other than Jodo Shinshu, the incense burner may not follow the proper etiquette for chanting sutras or burning incense, and temples that come to pray may be embarrassed. There is.
It is best to consult with the temple in advance if you would like to use a horizontal incense burner for fire prevention purposes, or to use a regular incense burner on the day you come to pray.
