介绍（中）	像这样的香炉通常被放置在房间的tokonoma壁龛中，既可以给房间增添香味，也可以作为装饰艺术品。这种椭圆形的香炉有小腿，盖子呈枫叶状网状，与身体的釉下蓝色装饰相匹配。手柄是一匹马的形象。香炉里会装有细小的灰烬，上面会燃烧香木或香混合物。燃烧的香的微妙烟雾会穿过盖子的网状枫叶。所使用的香将提供秋季的季节性参考，以及燃烧器的枫叶主题和壁龛中展示的其他物品，例如花卉和绘画或书法。
介绍（英）	Incense burners such as this were usually placed in the tokonoma alcove of a room both to scent the room and as decorative artworks. This oval-shaped incense burner has small legs, and a cover reticulated in maple-leaf forms to match the underglaze blue decoration of the body. The handle is a figure of a horse. The incense burner would have contained fine ash on top of which incense wood or incense mixture would have been burned. The delicate smoke of the burning incense would come through the reticulated maple leaves of the cover. The incense used would have provided a seasonal reference to autumn, along with the maple-leaf theme of the burner and other items displayed in the alcove, such as flowers and paintings or calligraphy.
