Traditional mica plates, framed in sterling silver, can be used for the Japanese Kodo ceremony as well heating wood chips and other resins. The 1" square natural mineral plate absorbs heat without cracking.

In a bowl of ash, a hot charcoal is placed and buried under a mound of ash. A vent hole is poked through the top of the mound down to the charcoal. The mica plate is then placed on top of the vent hole and allowed to heat. Sprinkle your incense ingredient(s) in very small amounts on the mica. This Kodo method heats the incense ingredient(s) and releases the fragrance without burning the material. Kodo style burning with mica produces little or no smoke and is one of our favorite methods of experiencing incense!
