This yellow ceramic incense burner, called a kōro in Japanese, features a sakura (cherry blossom) design with pink blossoms amid other blue and white flowers with green leaves. The incense burner is an octagonal shape, with three legs and a round, perforated lid with a knob.
This object was a gift of the Mayor of Kyoto in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Kyoto–Boston Sister City relationship.
