About this piece
In ancient China, you broke a willow to say “stay.” What you want to keep, you can't always keep. But the feeling stays. This leaf holds one stick. Nothing more. Everything enough.
Introduction
A willow leaf, resting there. You place the incense stick into it, and the smoke rises.
One stick burns for about fifty minutes. The leaf stays still while the smoke drifts away.As you watch the smoke, the leaf is always there, holding it. Like some people: you don't think of them often, but they've always been there, holding you.It holds incense, but it's also a small reminder that some things that hold you up have always been there.A Message from the Artisan
When I was a child, I lived at my grandmother’s house. There was a willow tree in the yard. In summer, I used to lie under the tree and watch the leaves fall, one by one. My grandmother said: when a willow leaf falls, it’s saying goodbye to the tree.
Later, my grandmother passed away. The willow tree is gone too. But whenever I see something shaped like a willow leaf, I still think of her.I made this incense holder for myself, to let her know I still remember. If there's someone you don't want to forget, let this willow leaf hold that stick for you. When the smoke rises, they're here.“Some things that hold you up have always been there.”
Material
Ceramic
Small Gesture, Deep Meaning
Place one stick of incense in the holder. The curved ceramic catches the ash. After use, rinse it gently with water and pat it dry. Never leave burning incense unattended. Keep away from children, pets and anything flammable.
The Story
In ancient China, people broke off a willow branch to say goodbye, because the word for willow sounds like the word for "stay." You can't always keep the people you want to keep. But the feeling can stay.
This incense holder is a fallen willow leaf. Thin, curved, just enough to hold one incense stick.Anyone who lights incense knows it isn't only people you can't keep. It's time, moods, thoughts that belong only to this moment. But while the smoke rises, they're all still here.Shipping
If your order also includes incense that is still being made, everything ships together in one parcel once the incense is ready. Delivery by China Post takes about 9–11 business days (estimated).
