Nana Takizawa - Incense holder 1

An incense holder by Nana Takizawa, a ceramic artist based in Tokyo.

Its form recalls a footed vessel, paired with a small sphere — a sculptural presence that feels almost like an object of contemplation. The subdued, black-based tones are met with the fine unevenness and gentle irregularity that only handwork brings, giving each piece its own distinct expression.

It holds a quiet presence not only while incense burns, but also when it stands alone as an object, drawing the scenery of daily life into gentle focus. At home in a contemporary space or among interiors built from wood and natural materials, it brings a calm stretch of time along with its scent.

*As each piece is handmade, there may be slight individual differences in shape and glaze flow.
*Traces of glaze flow, small pools, protrusions, air bubble marks, black spots, or brown spots may appear — these are not defects, but a natural part of the piece's expression.
*Color and texture may appear slightly different depending on your device or viewing environment.
*Please handle with care, as this is a fragile item.

Nana Takizawa
A ceramic artist based in Tokyo.

During her university years, a stay in Portland, Oregon brought her into contact with American craft culture, and set her on the path of making things by hand.
After working in interior design, she went on to study ceramics in Kyoto, and now creates her work from a base in Tokyo.
Because her forms and colors are simple, she gives careful attention to every step — from choosing the clay to the final firing — pursuing subtle nuances in color and texture.
Each piece is made with the hope that it brings its owner a quiet pleasure in their own moments of creation.
