A deep blue ceramic leaf-shape incense holder. Hand-finished organic leaf silhouette — the most sculptural of the three Azure shapes
Azure Leaf Incense Holder comes from Shoyeido, the Kyoto incense house that has been making sticks and the ceramic accessories that hold them since 1705. The same family of pieces shows up across the Sampson incense lineup — pairing a Shoyeido stick with a Shoyeido holder keeps format compatibility predictable.
The leaf shape lays flat with a recessed central well for the stick and a wider perimeter that catches falling ash. The deep blue glaze pairs cleanly with light-wood or stone surfaces and reads as the most contemporary of the Azure trio (wheel / leaf / bowl).
Who it’s for
Daily Burn Station
Set in one spot — meditation corner, bedside, reading shelf. Stick goes in, ash stays in.
Gift Pairing
Pair with a Shoyeido stick set for a complete, considered gift instead of a single SKU.
Apartment Setups
Compact footprint, contained ash. Designed for living rooms, studios, small spaces where loose ash isn’t welcome.
Catalog-Consistent Setup
Same ceramic family across the Sampson Shoyeido catalog — mixing-and-matching scents and holders stays visually cohesive.
“We only put ingredients in our products that we would use on our own family. Every ingredient has a purpose. If it doesn’t need to be there, it isn’t.”

Leaf Holder

Glazed ceramic.

Pairs With
Shoyeido sticks & cones
Benefits
Hand-Finished Ceramic
Workshop Craft
Each piece passes through human hands at finishing. Glaze tone and surface character vary slightly between units — the variation is the signature of the craft, not a defect.
Heat-Safe by Design
Built for Burning
Glazed ceramic body designed to hold a lit stick or cone safely. The ash falls into the dish; the surface underneath stays cool.
Easy to Empty & Clean
Low Maintenance
After the burn fully cools, tip the ash into a bin and wipe the surface with a soft cloth. Glazed surface releases ash cleanly without staining.
Shoyeido House Lineage
Kyoto, 1705
Same Kyoto craft house that makes the sticks. Holder and stick are designed to work together — same dimensions, same ash behaviour, same aesthetic language.
How to Use
Place on a Heat-Safe Surface
Set the holder on stone, ceramic, or another heat-resistant surface. Keep away from curtains, paper, and other flammable items.
Insert the Stick or Cone
Stick goes into the central hole, firmly so it sits upright. Cones rest on a thin layer of ash or directly on the dish surface, depending on the holder shape.
Light and Let Burn
Light the tip until a small flame catches, then blow out so the ember glows. The holder collects the ash as the incense burns down.
Cool, Empty, Wipe
Let the holder cool fully before handling. Tip the ash into a bin and wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Not dishwasher safe.
“Hand-finished ceramic: glaze tone and surface texture vary between units. This is intended — it’s how the workshop makes them.”
Ingredients
Stoneware / Porcelain Body
The Base Material
Kiln-fired ceramic body chosen for thermal stability and weight. Heavy enough to sit firmly under a burning stick, dense enough not to stain from ash.
Hand-Applied Glaze
The Finish
Glaze is brushed or dipped, then kiln-fired so the colour bonds permanently to the body. Tone and surface character carry small unit-to-unit variations — intended, not flawed.
Full Ingredients
Glazed ceramic, kiln-fired. No metals in contact with food or skin; not intended for food contact. Surface is wipe-clean — not dishwasher safe.
Place on a heat-resistant surface only. Sampson’s 30-day money-back guarantee applies.
