Incense Burner. Japan, 19th Century

Created by a Japanese craftsman, this bronze incense burner rests on a base under which is affixed the Takao signature. The lid, cut open to let the scent of incense rise, is surmounted by a Qilin. This mythical deer, little known to Westerners, is however one of the four celestial, supernatural or beneficial creatures of ancient China; it was adopted by traditional Japanese culture. Consider it the equivalent of our unicorn since its Japanese translation would be "beast with one horn"!

This mythological qilin represents perfect happiness, gentleness, peace and prosperity, an animal after all ideal to accompany the ceremony of tea and incense.

The belly of our incense burner is decorated with phoenixes while the handles are stylized dragons.
