Vintage Japanese Pig Incense Burner

This is a vintage Japanese kayari incense burner made to hold a type of coiled incense called katori senko. An iconic summer item, this adorable green and beige ceramic pig stands on four little legs and repels mosquitos when a coil of incense is placed inside. It is popular in homes and Japanese inns (ryokan) but is also commonly found among camping and outdoor equipment since it’s easy to move around.
