Cherry Blossom Carved Chakoro Tea Incense Burner

Fill your room with the fresh, rich aroma of roasted Japanese tea leaves with this rustic Tokoname Ware Chakoro Tea Incense Burner.  

A Chakoro is a fairly new type of incense burner where Japanese tea leaves and twigs are placed on a plate are slowly roasted under a candle in an incense burner. "Cha" means "tea" and "koro" means incense burner in Japanese. Our Chakoro includes a burner base, one plate, a candle holder, and a wooden trivet. The set also comes with one tealight candle. 

The burner has a rustic brown matte surface decorated with 4 cherry blossoms and evenly set three small holes carved out on its sides. The petals of cherry blossoms are carved out in detail and coated in a shiny, light-colored glaze. When the burner is lit, you can enjoy the elegant shadows created by the carved out petals, adding to the relaxing atmosphere. Enjoy the single cherry blossom on the top plate as well when placing the tea leaves. 

Crafted in Tokoname City, Aichi Prefecture, Tokoname ware has been at the heart of Japanese ceramics for centuries. As one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns, the town is known for its rich pottery heritage and masterful craftsmanship. Among its most iconic creations are shudei kyusu—unglazed red clay teapots prized for mellowing the taste of green tea.

From its distinctive vermilion hue to the refined wheel-thrown form, Tokoname teaware continues to shape everyday tea moments with beauty, function, and tradition.
