The Seto Yaki Flower incense tray is made in Japan for use with Hibi incense sticks. The small porcelain tray is ideally designed to fit in the centre of the Hibi burning pad that comes with each Hibi matchbox. While the Hibi burning pad is designed to be used directly in its paper box, the porcelain tray is a more permanent alternative that also complements your home decor.

  • 100% Seto porcelain
  • As with all hand-glazed ceramic products, there may be variations in colour and texture

Crafted from Seto porcelain, also known as Tamba tachikui pottery, this tray embodies a rich tradition of craftsmanship. Tamba ware is synonymous with the Imada area of Sasayama City, Hyogo, Japan, its heritage intertwining over 850 years of history. The Tamba kiln, one of Japan's six ancient kilns, has been in continuous operation since the Heian period, imbuing each piece with a sense of legacy and artistry.

Incense Tray

Instructions

Hibi incense sticks are fragile, so handle them carefully so they don't break when lit.

1. Remove the packaging by tearing the film open from left to right along the perforated edge.

2. Light the Hibi stick by pressing the top tip against the rough brown surface on the side of the box marked for lighting. Light it by scratching it downwards at a 45 degree angle, holding the stick by its centre to prevent breaking.

3. After lighting, tilt the match slightly downwards instead of holding it horizontally, and continue to hold it until the flame spreads to the incense part and then settles down on its own. Extinguishing the flame too quickly may prevent the fire from reaching the incense part, or the appropriate smell may affect the fragrance of the incense, as the combustible material at the end of the match may not be completely burnt.

4. Place the stick on the tray and enjoy the scent for about 10 minutes. The tray is heat-resistant, so you can place it on a table.

5. Do not leave the area unattended until the stick has completely burned out. Burning more than two sticks at a time can be dangerous and may cause the base to overheat, so make sure you only burn one stick at a time.
