Iwachu Orizuru Incense Burner, Black

The word orizuri, literally ori – folded and zuru – crane, refers to the paper crane made according to the art of origami. It is an iconic design that represents a Manchurian crane, a large wading bird revered in Asia, especially in Japan.

Remember the good omens associated with cranes every time you light an incense! First of all, it is a symbol of longevity because they can live up to 40 years, a great age for birds. As they defend their nest with ardor against predators, the Japanese consider that they bring protection and good fortune to the family. They also believe that souls on their way to heaven travel on their wings. Another characteristic of cranes is that they keep the same partner throughout their life, which makes them an archetype of fidelity and loyalty. This incense burner white as the plumage of cranes inspires purity and innocence.
