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

The Sasagatarochi 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.

Its name describes its form: sasa (笹) refers to the graceful, slender leaf of bamboo grass, while tarochi (露置) means ‘dew rest’ — a style designed to hold incense sticks horizontally as they burn, rather than upright. The result is a beautifully minimal, leaf-shaped incense rest that brings quiet elegance to any space.
