A magnificent guardian with a wicked grin.
Dogabi No. 328 feels alive in that particular Dogabi way — watchful eyes, gold-tipped teeth, and a single horn that seems to vibrate with mischief. Taller and more sculptural than our previous incense burners, this one has true presence. It sits somewhere between talisman, companion, and small household spirit… depending on the day.
Created by Korean artist Hyung-Jun Kim, the maker behind Dogabi, each piece is inspired by the Korean dokkaebi — playful goblin figures said to bring luck, laughter, and a little chaos. Every Dogabi is hand-thrown, carved, and individually finished, never molded, so each one carries its own personality.
This burner works with both stick and cone incense. Smoke escapes through the open mouth and teeth, turning the already expressive face into a tiny theatre of clouds.
A one-of-a-kind ceramic work with 23.5k gold details.

THE BRAND
Dogabi is the ceramic universe of Korean artist Hyung-Jun Kim, inspired by the dokkaebi—mischievous Korean goblins said to bring luck, laughter, and the occasional bit of chaos. Each piece is hand-formed, glazed, and given an unmistakable personality: humorous, slightly feral, deeply charming. No molds are used; every Dogabi is a one-of-a-kind character meant to live with you, watch over your space, and maybe play a few tricks along the way.
