I cannot help be see the incense stick burns in a Buddhist altar cloth when I look at this Shino Chaire by Wakao Toshisada which comes enclosed in the original signed wooden box. Inevitably as more sticks of incense are added to a koro, some will break and fall onto the altar cloth, smoldering as they disappear into smoke, leaving only a fleeting scent and shadow-like scar in the drapery. If one has ever been deep into the darkness of a temple, you may know the quiet feeling of contemplation which such a scene inspires.
Size, W 7.1 cm ( 2.8 inches) H 9.1 cm ( 3.6 inches)
Condition, Excellent
