Japanese Cast Iron Incense Holder – Maruori | Yamagata Ironware | Made in Japan

The Maruori (丸折) incense holder is handcrafted from cast iron by a celebrated ironware studio based in Yamagata, northern Japan — a region with over 900 years of iron casting tradition.

Maruori means ‘round fold’ — a softly curved, compact form inspired by the gentle arc of folded paper. Where its counterpart Kakuori (角折) is angular and precise, Maruori offers a warmer, more organic silhouette. Small enough to sit on a desk or windowsill, it holds incense sticks horizontally with quiet, understated elegance.
