Kiyobi feels like a quiet cleansing. A soft ember glowing in a still room. The blend of hinoki and cedarwood opens with that unmistakably Japanese clarity — crisp, green, almost temple-like. Sandalwood and agarwood settle in behind it, creating a sense of space that feels purified yet warm, like fresh air after a long exhale. For days when you want the atmosphere to feel newly washed, lightened, quietly renewed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSekishini \/ 石心 – Pink Pepper • Everlasting • Clove • Agarwood. Sekishin carries the feeling of a stone warmed all day by the sun — grounded, steady, quietly radiant. Pink pepper and clove bring a gentle spark, never harsh, while everlasting adds an herbal softness. The agarwood anchors everything with a deep, resinous calm. This is a scent for anchoring yourself — firm, warm, and centred.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNukubai \/ 温灰 – Vanilla • Tonka • Patchouli • Sandalwood. Nukubai is the warmth of ash that still remembers the fire. A slow, comforting glow. Vanilla and tonka give it a soft roundness, while patchouli hums underneath with a velvety depth. Sandalwood wraps it all in a soothing, almost nostalgic warmth. Gentle, embracing, perfect for evenings when you want to feel cocooned.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuou \/ 蘇枋 – Muguet • Oakmoss • Amber • Sandalwood. Suou opens like the first breeze through a forest clearing — green, blooming, and quietly luminous. Muguet brings a dewy brightness, oakmoss adds earthiness, amber warms the edges, and sandalwood creates a serene finish. Light yet grounded, this scent feels like stepping into soft morning light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTetsukon \/ 鉄紺 – Bergamot • Violet • Cedarwood • Agarwood. Tetsukon is deep indigo in scent form — composed, cool, and refined. Bergamot provides a delicate lift, violet adds a mysterious floral shadow, and cedarwood keeps everything crisp. Agarwood closes the fragrance with a contemplative stillness. Perfect for quiet focus, night rituals, or moments when the mind needs smoothing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elemense","offers":[{"title":"Kiyobi","offer_id":43572837613703,"sku":"ELE-DEC-INC-001-HAC","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sekishin","offer_id":43572837646471,"sku":"ELE-DEC-INC-001-PPA","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Nukubai","offer_id":43572837679239,"sku":"ELE-DEC-INC-001-VTS","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Suou","offer_id":43572837712007,"sku":"ELE-DEC-INC-001-MOA","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tetsukon","offer_id":43572837744775,"sku":"ELE-DEC-INC-001-BVC","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/2383\/2967\/files\/IMG_6743_CC.jpg?v=1765418364"},{"product_id":"choju-giga-metal-animal-incense-holder","title":"Chōjū-giga Metal Animal Incense Holder","description":"\u003cp\u003eChōjū-giga (鳥獣戯画) is one of Japan’s most iconic visual traditions.

It is also, of course, the heart of Kaeru’s own identity: the feeling of coming home. This metal incense holder depicts the frog mid-charge, lively and full of character, echoing scenes from the ancient Chōjū-giga scrolls where frogs spar, leap and lead the playful chaos. A symbol of return, vitality and good fortune — an incense companion that quietly ties back to the spirit of Kaeru itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMonkey\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lively figure from the Chōjū-giga scrolls, the saru (猿 or monkey) carries that spirited, agile energy monkeys are loved for in Japanese folklore. Cast in metal with deliberate weight, this incense holder captures a moment mid-stride — as if racing through an ancient tale. Monkeys appear throughout the original scrolls as bold, playful tricksters, always pushing the scene forward. Here, the figure becomes a companion to your incense ritual, holding space while the fragrance drifts through the room. A small reminder of movement, curiosity and mischief-free courage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRabbit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe usagi (兎 or rabbit) appears in the Chōjū-giga as quick-thinking, agile and full of grace — a symbol of good fortune and sharp intuition. This metal incense holder captures the rabbit in motion, poised with a quiet determination. In Japan, rabbits are associated with cleverness, lunar symbolism, and soft resilience. When placed beside a burning incense stick, the figure feels like a guardian of the moment: alert, light, and gently protective. A thoughtful piece for inviting clarity and auspicious calm into your space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSourcing Story\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe found these small metal warriors during a slow wander through Kuramae — a neighbourhood where workshops hum quietly behind half-open doors. A soft trail of incense drifted into the street, and we followed it into a tiny metal studio filled with the scent of cooling tin. On a wooden shelf stood three familiar figures from the Chōjū-giga scrolls — a frog, a rabbit and a monkey — each mid-motion, as if lifted straight from the ancient scenes. We tested one with incense, and the smoke curled around them as though they were sparring with the scent itself. They felt playful, traditional and full of character — everything Kaeru loves in a small object. So we brought them home, carrying a little piece of Kuramae’s quiet magic with us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chōjū-giga","offers":[{"title":"Frog","offer_id":43574308372615,"sku":"CHO-DEC-ICH-001-FRO","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Monkey","offer_id":43574308339847,"sku":"CHO-DEC-ICH-001-MON","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rabbit","offer_id":43574308405383,"sku":"CHO-DEC-ICH-001-RAB","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/2383\/2967\/files\/IMG_6756_CC.jpg?v=1765418238"}],"url":"https:\/\/kaeru.au\/pt\/collections\/decor.oembed","provider":"Kaeru","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
