"Full Moon" — Mid-Autumn Gift Set

A limited gift set for 中秋の名月 (Chūshū no Meigetsu), the mid-autumn moon — a hand-formed Suzu-yaki incense plate paired with a limited sandalwood incense from Shoyeido, Kyoto's oldest incense house, established in 1705.

The "Full Moon" plate is a round Suzu-yaki (珠洲焼) incense plate, hand-formed on the Noto Peninsula from iron-rich local clay and fired without glaze — its deep charcoal-black surface drawn out by earth, flame and ash alone. About 9cm across, it is shaped to hold a single stick of incense and catch its ash. Quietly round, like the moon itself.

Choose your shape

• Curve — a surface softly dished, curving gently inward. appx.80g
• Flat — level and calm, about 8mm thick. appx. 140g

What's included

• One hand-formed Suzu-yaki "Full Moon" incense plate (approx. 9cm), in your chosen shape
• One box of limited Xiang Do Sandalwood (白檀) — 20 sticks, 2.75"

Sandalwood (byakudan) is among the oldest woods in Japanese incense — warm, soft and quietly sweet. It was treasured in the Heian court a thousand years ago, when moon-viewing first took root in Japan. A scent made for a long autumn night.

Limited time & stock

Available September 18 – October 7, while quantities last.

Please note

Ships from Japan — please allow 1–3 weeks. This is a keepsake of the season, not guaranteed to arrive by September 25.

Each piece is made entirely by hand. Because Suzu-yaki is individually formed and fired by hand, slight variations in colour, shape, texture, and size are natural and unique to your piece — the mark of a genuine handmade object, not a flaw.
