A fabulous mid Edo period bronze brazier with satin luster made up of a basin supported by four small rabbits with two small gourd shaped handles suspended from a belt of archaic designs. The top is a large dome pierced with geometric designs known as incense clock patterns and featuring a large hinged circular opening in front. It is 22 cm diameter, 34.5 cm tall (8-1/2 x 13-1/2 inches) and in excellent condition. It comes enclosed in a wooden box titled: Moku-o Fu-kun I-ai Natsume-Gata Ko-Do Shuro (Tea-Caddy-Shaped Old Bronze Brazier Loved by Moku-o). According to the box it was a beloved possession of Doi Moku-o, the Go or alternate name of Doi Seihei (1660～1726), a Confucian scholar and follower of Sakai Shosai of the mid-Edo period specializing in Shushigaku (Cheng-Zhu) Confucianism.
