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 is in an olive green matte color with the surface decorated with droplet designs carved on its sides. When the burner is lit, you can enjoy the elegant shadows created by the droplets, adding to the relaxing atmosphere. The top plate of the burner is decorated with a single leaf that can be used as a handle when holding the plate to place 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.
