Red Camellia Zen Incense Holder

The holder features a striking two-tone design. The exterior showcases the natural, unglazed ceramic in a soft, off-white hue, reminiscent of traditional Japanese pottery. This textured surface provides a tactile connection to the earth, grounding your practice.

In beautiful contrast, the interior of the bowl is glazed in a deep, rich red, symbolizing the camellia flower (tsubaki in Japanese). This vibrant color represents passion, focus, and the inner fire of meditation. The red interior also serves a practical purpose, making it easy to see and remove ash after use.

At the center of the bowl rises a small, golden protrusion designed to hold your incense stick securely. This golden element, reminiscent of a camellia's stamen, adds a touch of elegance and serves as a focal point for concentration during meditation.

The bowl's gentle curve and wide opening allow for easy ash collection and cleaning, ensuring a tidy practice space. The balanced design of this incense holder makes it an ideal companion for various mindfulness practices:

1. Meditation: Use it as a timer, allowing the burning of the incense to mark your session's duration.
2. Yoga: Place it near your mat to infuse your practice with calming aromas.
3. Mindfulness: Focus on the rising smoke as a point of concentration during breathing exercises.
4. Tea Ceremony: Incorporate it into traditional Japanese tea rituals for added depth and sensory experience.
