Kōgō: A Timeless Japanese Incense Container

A kōgō is a small, exquisitely crafted container used in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies and incense appreciation (kōdō). Made from fine ceramics, lacquer, or metal, these elegant boxes hold precious aromatic woods or blended incense, enhancing the sensory experience of these refined cultural rituals.

Beyond their function, kōgō are treasured as works of art, often featuring intricate designs, seasonal motifs, and masterful craftsmanship. Whether displayed as collectibles or used in practice, they embody the harmony and beauty of Japanese tradition.
