Type: Ritual implement
Visual evidence: Met Japanese Mandalas exhibition.

The incense brazier stands centrally on the altar and supports purification of both deity and celebrant.

An implement entry should record:

  • physical construction;
  • altar position;
  • substance burned;
  • point in liturgy when incense is offered;
  • relationship to deity purification and practitioner purification.

Follow the specific ritual’s incense offering. Do not invent a universal number of spoonfuls, clockwise movements or mantra where the manual has not supplied them.
