Handmade in Japan from 100% recycled glass recovered from old cathode ray tubes (CRTs) once used in televisions and monitors. Solid and architectural, the Square holder brings a grounded presence to any space. Its surface captures light with quiet depth, revealing the natural bluish tint that forms during the recycling process.
The color closely resembles masuhanairo - a pale blue-gray hue first popularized in the Edo period by kabuki actor Ichikawa Danjuro V. Known for its balance and calm restraint, it mirrors the understated character of the glass itself.
Each piece is individually cast and polished by hand, resulting in subtle variations in tone and form.

About the Packaging
Each IYÉ incense box is crafted to be as durable and refined as a traditional wooden case while remaining fully sustainable. The thick paperboard is made from recycled materials, including milk cartons and high-grade paper collected from homes and factories.
In Japan, beverage cartons are made from exceptionally pure pulp, often called “honor paper,” a phrase that reflects respect for good materials. Once the incense is finished, the labels can be removed, and the box repurposed for keepsakes, matches, or regifting.
