Inspired by the Iconic “Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains”
This concrete incense holder takes design inspiration from Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains, a famous painting by Wang Ximeng of the Northern Song dynasty. Featuring serene landscapes inspired by Lushan Mountain and Poyang Lake, the holder reflects the timeless beauty of Jiangnan’s natural scenery. Its mountain and water motif invites a sense of calm and connection to nature.
Harmony Between Humans and Nature
Rooted in the philosophy of harmony between humans and nature (天人合一), this incense holder embodies the ideal coexistence of man-made and natural environments. Inspired by traditional mountain-and-water (山水) art, it showcases the beauty of a balanced and serene world, as valued in Chinese culture.
Crafted with Molds and Semi-Handcrafted Techniques

The textured surface captures the essence of rolling mountains and flowing rivers, while the semi-handcrafted process ensures subtle variations in texture and finish, adding a personal touch to each piece.
Functional and Decorative Accent
Designed for both utility and decor, this incense holder enhances meditation spaces, tea tables, or living areas with its tranquil and artistic presence. Its compact circular design, paired with intricate mountain textures, embodies the quiet sophistication of Song dynasty aesthetics.
