The matchbox was added to this not a normal use for creating smoke but thought it would make a great setup piece, an old family piece that went into Europe at one point in history.
The aroma in the incense magical will transform a room to a festive feel, sugar cookie to frankincense.

For most tourists this temple is quite a bit off compared to other famous sites in Tokyo - but it is still quite popular. After all they maintain the story of being the place that invented the beckoning cat - said to be inspired by a story of a monk's cat which saved the daimyo Ii Naotaka from being hit by lightning by beckoning him into the temple.
But this temple is worth a visit for more than that (and I am saying this as a great cat lover). It is the largest historical site in Tokyo (according to the sign at the entrance - and I have no reason to doubt it). A temple has stood here since 1480, and Gōtokuji dates to 1655, with many of its existing buildings actually dating from the 17th century. The grounds are extensive and includes a cemetery for the Ii-family with traditional tombs.
And if you are wondering what the thing in the photo is: it's an enormous incense burner. But probably more modern than the 17th century....
For Crazy Tuesday " Goes Together Like " theme. Incense, incense burner and smoke. Happy Crazy Tuesday!!
this smoke brought to mind an old nursery rhyme
I'm a Little Tea Pot
Short and stout
here is my handle
and her is my spout.
Not the first time I've photographed this item but it fits so well for this week's Macro Mondays weekly theme of "Stars".
The only light source used here was the "flame" of the candle light and, with a high number F-stop, it made for quite a long exposure......about a minute in fact!
HMM to all in the group.

Thank you everyone for your visit, favorites and comments.

Last December we drove up north to Talmage, California, to visit the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas, the largest Zen Buddhist temple in the USA. This is the incense burner in front of The Jeweled Hall of 10,000 Buddhas. We had a wonderful vegetarian lunch.

Also known as Dzarong phu ཛ་ རོང་ཕུ་. Communties of monks and nuns affiliated with the Nyingmapa tradition of Mindroling have been living in the Dzarongpu area since the late 18th century. The complex was revitalized at the beginning of the 20th century by the First Trulzhik Ngawang Tendzin Norbu (d 1940) who constructed a temple named Do-ngak Choling. Branch monasteries were also established across the Nangpa La pass in Shar Khumbu region of East Nepal. at the high point of its development, the Dzarongpu area (meaning "upper reaches of the Dza valley") had over 500 monks and nuns.

O mecanismo de suporte do Botafumeiro, na Catedral de Santiago de Compostela, é uma impressionante estrutura que permite o movimento pendular do gigantesco incensário. Situado no alto da cúpula, este sistema composto por roldanas e cordas resistentes é manuseado com precisão pelos tiraboleiros.

This is a figurine I painted and made into an incense burner. Lighted with remote strobe and reflector. Some additional smoke added in Photoshop.

Constructive criticism is always welcome.
I really struggled with this weeks subject and I could'nt quite work out why. It made me think, is this because trinkets are more generally associated with females? In other words, do men have 'trinkets'? I'm sure they do if you expand the definition of the word. Might men be more drawn to photographing trinkets that belong to their wife or girlfriend, sisters?
Have I missed something here?
If I have stirred a nest, please put me right!
Anyway, this incense burner is definitely something I occasionally use!

Excerpt from the plaque:
Incense Burner, Iran, 11th – 13th centuries. Bronze, inlaid with copper: Look at the body and the tail of this bird. How many birds can you spot? How do you think this object was used?
This bird-shaped object was once used to perfume a room. The body of the bird was filled with burning incense or a strongly-scented paste inserted through a flap on its back. Once burnt, a pleasant smell would escape through the perforations in the head and wings of the bird.
the Cheng Hoon Teng or Temple of the Green Cloud in Malacca is the oldest Chinese temple in Malaysia. (zoom in to see the details)

O Botafumeiro, o monumental incensário da Catedral de Santiago de Compostela, é uma das tradições mais emblemáticas deste templo, símbolo do Caminho de Santiago. Manobrado por tiraboleiros, oscila impressionantemente pelo transepto, perfumando o ambiente com incenso. Esta prática, que remonta ao século XI, além do seu simbolismo espiritual, servia também para purificar o ar nos tempos de grande afluência de peregrinos.

The Barkor is a popular devotional circumambulation for pilgrims and locals. The walk was about one kilometre long and encircled the entire Jokhang, the former seat of the State Oracle in Lhasa called the Muru Nyingba Monastery, and a number of nobles' houses including Tromzikhang and Jamkhang. There were four large incense burners (sangkangs) in the four cardinal directions, with incense burning constantly, to please the gods protecting the Jokhang. The Tromzikhang market is busy in Barkhor, and the area is a major tourist attraction.
Barkhor Square and Jokhang Temple
Because the Jokhang Temple has been a symbolic center of Tibetan protest since 1987, the Barkhor has also seen many demonstrations. In 1989, when year the 14th Dalai Lama won the Nobel Peace Prize, pro-Dalai Lama residents threw tsampa around the Barkhor to celebrate. After the Central government denounced the prize, residents who continued such demonstrations were arrested. The square was briefly closed by riot police during the 2008 Lhasa violence.
Aqui está o coração do 'Botafumeiro', o famoso turíbulo da Catedral de Santiago de Compostela. O mecanismo de cordas e polias permite que o incensário de 53 kg seja balançado a grandes alturas, enchendo a nave central com o aroma do incenso. ️⛪️
