From the votive deposit (closed late 2nd/early 1st c. BCE) at loc. Privati above and south of ancient Stabiae (see on Pleiades). The sanctuary at Privati shows many similarities in material culture to that of the Doric temple in the triangular forum at Pompeii attributed to Athena.

Sensō-ji is an ancient Buddhist temple located in Asakusa, Taitō, Tokyo, Japan. It is Tokyo's oldest temple, and one of its most significant.
Formerly associated with the Tendai sect, it became independent after World War II. Adjacent to the temple is a Shinto shrine, the Asakusa Shrine.
The temple is dedicated to the bodhisattva Kannon (Avalokitesvara). According to legend, a statue of the Kannon was found in the Sumida River in 628 by two fishermen, the brothers Hinokuma Hamanari and Hinokuma Takenari. The chief of their village, Hajino Nakamoto, recognized the sanctity of the statue and enshrined it by remodeling his own house into a small temple in Asakusa, so that the villagers could worship the Kannon.
The first temple was founded in 645 C.E., which makes it the oldest temple in Tokyo. In the early years of the Tokugawa shogunate, Tokugawa Ieyasu designated Sensō-ji as tutelary temple of the Tokugawa clan.
The Nishinomiya Inari Shrine is located within the precincts of Sensō-ji; and a torii identifies the entry into the hallowed ground of a Shinto shrine. A bronze plaque on the gateway structure lists those who contributed to the construction of the torii, which was erected in 1727.
During World War II, the temple was bombed and destroyed. It was rebuilt later and is a symbol of rebirth and peace to the Japanese people. In the courtyard there is a tree that was hit by a bomb in the air raids, and it had regrown in the husk of the old tree and is a similar symbol to the temple itself.
Dominating the entrance to the temple is the Kaminarimon or "Thunder Gate".
This imposing Buddhist structure features a massive paper lantern dramatically painted in vivid red-and-black tones to suggest thunderclouds and lightning.
Beyond the Kaminarimon is Nakamise-dori with its shops, followed by the Hōzōmon or "Treasure House Gate" which provides the entrance to the inner complex.
The Nakamise-dori shops themselves are part of a living tradition of selling to pilgrims who walked to Sensō-ji.
Within the temple itself, and also at many places on its approach, there are omikuji stalls. A suggested donation of 100 yen, will buy an omikuji (fortune written on a small piece of paper). You place the money in an honour box and shake a small cylinder containing sticks with numbers written on them. Shake the cylinder until one of the sticks falls out and pull your fortune from a drawer with the corresponding number. If your fortune is bad, tie the paper onto a nearby string so that the wind can disperse the bad luck.
In the temple forecourt is an incense burner. Here you will usually see a group of visitors fanning smoke from the burning incense over themselves. The incense is believed to have healing powers, and so fanning the smoke over your ailment will help to heal it. If you suffer from headache, fan some of the smoke over your head.
Within the temple is a quiet contemplative garden kept in the distinctive Japanese style.
Within the precincts stand a stately five-story pagoda and the main hall, devoted to Kannon Bosatsu.

The Na Tcha temple, next to the Ruins of St Paul's. This tiny temple was built in 1888 and dedicated to Na Tcha, to appease him in order to stop a plague that was spreading at that time. As compared to the mighty structure (the Ruins) next door, the use of simple materials and design makes this structure unique and exquisite.
Frankincense is made from dried tree sap. It's been used since ancient times to increase one's mental clarity and cleanses a room. It purifies air by reducing its microbial count. It may also help with depression and anxiety.
The traditional way of burning this incense is to heat it over a hot charcoal disc as see here.
82% of the product comes from Somalia, with some frankincense also gathered in adjacent Southern Arabia and Ethiopia, Sudan, and other central African countries. Though it is better known as "frankincense" to westerners, the resin is also known as olibanum, or in Arabic al-lubān (لبان, roughly translated: "that which results from milking"), a reference to the milky sap tapped from the Boswellia tree.

Over hundreds of years, Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism have fused with traditional Chinese beliefs and ancient Vietnamese animism to form what's collectively known as Tam Giao, the Triple Religion. However usually if asked, people will say they are Buddhist.
The custom of burning incense is an indispensable feature of the spiritual lives of Vietnamese people. It’s believed that an incense stick is a bridge that connects the afterlife with the real life. By lighting one we are inviting our ancestors back to the earth to re-visit us and enjoy whatever offerings we’ve laid out.
Buddhists use incense as an offering to The Buddha as well as for its therapeutic effect of calming the mind for focus meditation. Incense, and other offerings, are offered as a gesture of respect. It is the Buddhists way of offering their wholehearted, undivided attention towards the Buddha.
It is said that the perfume of the incense permeates all corners of the room and thus symbolizes the power of the Teaching to reach and convert all forms of greed, hate and delusion.
Yes, you can use polymer clay for an incense burner. Just use something else to hold the stick. In this case, sand. You could also use salt.
Even though I've worked with polymer clay since 2001, I really don't have that many household accessories made from it. That is changing with this vessel project. Do you have any household decor or functional items that you made from polymer clay?

According to Wikipedia, The Palace of Heavenly Purity, or Qianqing Palace is the largest of the three halls of the Inner Court of the Forbidden City (the other two being the Hall of Union and the Palace of Earthly Tranquility). During the Qing dynasty, the palace often served as the emperor's audience hall, where he held council with the Grand Council.
This double-eaved building is set on a single-level white marble platform and connected to the Gate of Heavenly Purity to its south by a raised walkway. In the Ming Dynasty, it was the residence of the emperor. The large space was divided into nine rooms on two levels, with twenty-seven beds. For security, on any one night the emperor would randomly choose from any of these beds. This continued through the early Qing Dynasty. However, when the Yongzheng Emperor ascended to the throne, he did not wish to inhabit the palace occupied by his father for sixty years. He and subsequent emperors lived instead at the smaller Hall of Mental Cultivation to the west. The Palace of Heavenly Purity then became the emperor's audience hall, where he held court, received ministers and emissaries, and held banquets. At the centre of the Palace, set atop an elaborate platform, are a throne and a desk, on which the emperor wrote notes and signed documents during councils with ministers. A caisson is set into the roof, featuring a coiled dragon.
Above the throne hangs a tablet with a right-to-left script "正大光明" (zhèng dà guāng míng), penned by the Shunzhi Emperor. This tablet has been translated several ways. It is often used as a Chinese Idiom, meaning "To be decent, honest and magnanimous," or "to have no secret or do a shameless deed."
From the Yongzheng Emperor onwards, the emperor designated his heir in secret, with one copy of the will hidden behind this tablet and another carried at all times by the emperor.
For 52 Weeks of Pix, Week 3: Smoke
I've had this little incense burner for ages, seems like the only time I get it out is when I have a challenge that requires smoke! : )
I did two versions, one edited in Aviary, the other with an app called Vintique on my phone
On another note, my PC kicked the bucket on Sunday so it's iPhone only for me right now. We took the hard drive to Best Buy and it looks like at least some if not all of the pictures can be saved to an external hard drive-thank goodness! Now we have to decide if we get a new computer or struggle along with my husband's laptop for a while...
A day in the garden, followed by a pool session with the kayak club, and a late evening search for a photo
These are 2 shots of an antique incense burner from the 20's. How it works is explained in 2nd shot.
Today is a day to worship Lord Shiva with scented incense sticks. Lord Shiva is referred to the Supreme in all the Gods.

When cutting the wood to shape the Palo Santo sticks, sawdust is created. This wood dust is then used to make incense shaped cones. The process goes like this: The sawdust is carefully sifted to remove any larger pieces. Then it is mixed with “moyuyo” (a shrub fruit that is used as glue) and Palo Santo aromatic water. Throughout the process everything is used, there is no waste product.
-------------------------------------
Al cortar la madera para dar forma a los Palitos de Palo Santo, se crea un residuo (aserrín) que se utiliza para elaborar los inciensos en forma de Conitos. El aserrín se cierne y se mezcla con moyuyo y agua aromática de Palo Santo. En este proceso todo se aprovecha, no hay producto de desecho.
