The set includes two ornate candle holders featuring embossed pine and crane motifs, a four-legged incense burner, an elegant ceremonial vase, a detailed crane and turtle candlestick holder that disassembles for transport, and a standalone incense burner lid adorned with a komainu (guardian lion-dog) motif. In Japanese culture, the crane is a symbol of longevity and prosperity, often linked to marital happiness due to its fidelity. The turtle represents endurance and wisdom, serving as a spiritual guardian. The komainu lid, while not belonging to a specific burner in this set, is a cherished artifact in itself, embodying the spirit of protection as these mythical creatures are known to guard sacred precincts. The pine motif on the candle holders is an emblem of resilience and youth, harmonizing with the crane's symbolism to wish for long-lasting relationships. Although the artifacts bear the wear of time, including a verdigris patina, some discoloration, candle wax residue, and minor scratches, they retain their majestic beauty and significance.
