In 1916, Nousaku began manufacturing Buddhist ritual objects, Japanese tea sets, and vases made of brass and bronze in Takaoka, Japan. The city has flourished since 1609, and built its reputation as the center of the copper industry in Japan over those 400 years.

This incense set is carefully hand cast and finished with traditional techniques, the brass will darken and mellow with use. The sets consist of three parts: a holder for stick incense (in the traditional lion motif), a small tray to collect ashes or to burn cone incense, and a capped cylindrical holder for storing incense sticks. Comes with Mandarin Orange fragrance incense.
