{"product_id":"p5811","title":"Bizen Ware Wave and Rabbit Incense Burner","description":"This is a Bizen ware rabbit incense burner by Shunko Nishimura, a master craftsman celebrated for fusing traditional spatula techniques with a sculptural sensibility. While Master Shunko is known for producing many incense burners featuring shishi lions on the lid, this work incorporates adorable, lively rabbits hopping about into the lid's craftsmanship. Although the rabbit carvings are quite small compared to the body, the detailed modeling is magnificent, featuring a simple and charming design. The main body serves as a wave-themed incense burner, with wave patterns delicately carved into the surface. The ears are also designed with a great sense of movement, reminiscent of high waves, allowing one to appreciate the true essence of Master Shunko.\n\nSigned wooden box (double-crosspiece)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 20.7cm x Diameter 15.2cm x Height 14.2cm\n\nMaster Shunko Nishimura was born in Kyoto in 1886.
