My boys and I burn a lot of incense in our apartment. I like how the ash piles up.

I was looking at images of Tadao Ando's architecture. The way he makes room for light makes me happy. I thought that smoke from the incense would look soothing coming out of similar shapes. The walnut incense pillar is hollow on the inside. Put the incense in the small square base, light it, set the pillar down over the incense stick. The smoke sifts gently out and up.
