An artifact from the edge of dream and nightmare, Breath of the Mask
is a handmade bronze incense holder unlike any other. Shaped as a dragonfly — symbol of impermanence and spiritual rebirth — this piece fuses delicate craftsmanship with shadowed symbolism. Its face is a miniature skull, a quiet nod to the transient nature of life.
But on its back, the true story unfolds: a sculpted Hannya mask, etched with quiet fury and sorrow. The mask, rooted in Japanese Noh tradition, represents the tormented soul — a woman turned demon by grief, jealousy, and longing. As incense burns, the smoke rises from the dragonfly like a breath from the mask itself — ephemeral, emotional, and powerful.
This piece isn't just an incense holder — it's a ritual in bronze. A fusion of elegance and intensity, ideal for those who find beauty in contrast and meaning in myth.
