{"product_id":"metal-alloy-incense-holder-cat","title":"Brass Incense Holder with Plate - Lucky Cat \/ 真鍮 香立て","description":"\u003cp\u003eTakaoka is Japan’s metal city. For over four hundred years, its foundries have cast everything from temple bells to tea ceremony vessels, and the city’s craftspeople have built a quiet, unshakeable reputation for knowing what metal can do. NAGAE has been part of that story since 1954 — not as a museum piece, but as a working manufacturer that continues to carry the material forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes NAGAE especially compelling is the way this long metalworking heritage is translated into objects for contemporary life. Their pieces feel clean and considered, yet never cold — shaped by technical skill, careful finishing, and a deep respect for the material itself. In them, the weight, surface, and character of metal are allowed to speak with clarity, bringing a sense of strength and refinement into everyday use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beckoning cat — maneki-neko — is one of Japan's most enduring good luck symbols. Left paw raised, it is said to \"tie the knot with a thousand connections,\" drawing in prosperity, new relationships, and a steady flow of good fortune. This incense holder by NAGAE gives that familiar figure a quiet, considered form: the cat holds an incense stick gently in its raised paw, while the accompanying tray catches the ash below. A piece that is at once functional, meaningful, and genuinely charming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs every piece has its handmade features, slight irregularities in size, glaze, colour, and texture might occur and reflect the nature of the artisan product.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e■\u003c\/span\u003e What's included?
