Product Description
Heart shaped ashtray/incense burner.
As age advances, the feeling of the passing of time becomes more and more intense. Meanwhile, as time passes, our lives are stained by what we experience, consume, and how we respond. Our lives are just like this ashtray/incense burner. When we first receive it, it's clean and shiny. Once it's put to use, it starts to accumulate stains. As time passes, these stains become increasingly difficult to clean. Even though we can clean it frequently, no matter how carefully we do so, it will never look the same as when it first arrived in our home.
The ashtray is meant to reflect the stains we have in our own lives and remind people to value life and detoxify negative energies. When people use it as an ashtray, it leaves stains on both the ashtray and inside the smoker's body. After using it a few times, the cigarette stains on the ashtray reflect the harm it causes to the smoker's life. At the same time, if people use it as an incense burner, it can be seen as a positive approach to making one's life comfortable, since incense is frequently used in meditation and symbolizes calmness and healing. From my experience, incense stains are much easier to clean than cigarette stains.
No matter what we do in our lives—positive or negative—it will always have stains in the end. However, we can choose our own approach to handling it, and we always have the option of cleaning it whenever we want.
