Questions & Curiosities
Is the design painted on?
No, it is a genuine, high-quality brass inlay. The metal symbols (both the Yin-Yang and the stars) are permanently set into the wood, giving it a beautiful, tactile, and durable finish that will not rub off or fade.
What kind of incense does this hold?
This ash catcher is perfectly designed for standard incense sticks that have a thin wooden or bamboo core. It is not designed to be used with cone incense, resin, or “solid” coreless incense sticks.
