Porcelain Aroma Stone - Kikusumi food storage making cleaning up the kitchenA sculptural piece that holds fragrance as quietly as it occupies space. Handcrafted in Hizen Yoshida, a historic kiln region in Saga Prefecture with over 400 years of porcelain tradition, the Kikusumi Aroma Stone is made from unglazed porcelain that gently diffuses scent through its fine, porous surfaceno heat or flame required. Its form is inspired by kikusumi, a type of charcoal whose cut surface reveals patterns resembling chrysanthemum petals.
