Moso Bamboo Incense Burner

As Taoism states, "Man takes Earth as his model, Earth takes Heaven as its model, Heaven takes Dao as its model, and Dao takes Nature as its model." This Moso Bamboo Coil Incense Burner is crafted in line with this "Dao of Nature" — it uses moso bamboo that grows naturally in mountain forests as material. Instead of deliberately carving its shape, it is carefully polished with craftsmanship, allowing the bamboo's natural grain, texture and faint fragrance to flow naturally. This is just like the "governing by non-interference" pursued by Taoism, hiding the true essence of heaven and earth in its simplicity.

Moso bamboo is tough yet gentle, with a warm touch that resembles the Taoist state of mind of "reaching the utmost emptiness and maintaining unwavering tranquility": when placing a coil incense, the bamboo holder supports it steadily, and the incense ash stays inside without scattering. It requires no excessive care — cleaning only needs a gentle pour. This "convenience and practicality" implicitly accords with the Taoist life wisdom of "having few desires" — free from the burden of complicated trivialities, one can focus on the tranquility while the incense burns.

With natural materials bearing the daily incense, this Moso Bamboo Coil Incense Burner turns incense-burning from a simple ritual into a lifestyle that practices Taoism's "following nature and returning to one's true self" — every wisp of rising green smoke is a gentle harmony with heaven, earth and oneself.
