 This is another incense burner in the shape of Akouda, with the Jokei seal stamped inside the base and white yuzu (citron) covering the remainder of the base. It is interesting to note that an incense burner exactly like this one was found in the graveyard of Shiba Zojoji Temple in Tokyo, where the remains of the second Tokugawa shogun, Hidetada, were buried. It is a valuable historical document. The body of this incense burner is in the shape of an Akouda, with vertical stripes along the six sides of the body.
