Description
Incense container for the furo season. In the warmer months of the years (traditionally May through October in Japan) the lighter scent of fragrant wood incense, such as sandalwood chips, is thought to be most refreshing. During these months, kogo made from plain wood, lacquered wood, glass or shell are especially preferred.
