{"product_id":"incense-burner-no-363","title":"Incense Burner No 363","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA hand-sculpted porcelain incense and palo santo burner from Dogabi — a South Korean ceramic studio whose entire output is built around a single figure: the dokkaebi, or Korean goblin. In Korean folklore, the dokkaebi is not a villain. It is a guardian — a protector of the home, a bringer of abundance, a creature that lives in the space between the frightening and the familiar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis piece, No. 363, is wheel-thrown and hand-sculpted in white porcelain with a pale celadon glaze — wide-bodied, four-legged, and unmistakably alive. Two asymmetric eyes, a broad snout, and a gaping grin lined with platinum-fired teeth. Three horns catch the light differently depending on the angle. It stands just under 6 inches tall, open-mouthed and ready — a palo santo stick or incense rests between the teeth, smoke rising from its grin. The open mouth is not decorative. It is the function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFired at 2,282°F with oxidation, then re-fired at 1,472°F for the platinum glaze.

The studio's work spans functional objects and one-of-a-kind sculpture, but the Dogabi series is its most singular obsession: every piece is a new version of the same figure — the dokkaebi of Korean folklore, reimagined in porcelain each time. The dokkaebi has been part of Korean imagination for centuries, appearing as guardian, trickster, monster, and protector depending on who is telling the story. Kim's versions are all of these at once. Each is numbered, each is different, and none come back once they're gone. In October 2025, Takamichi Beauty Room hosted an exhibition with the artist, covered by T Magazine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DOGABI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48335102869729,"sku":null,"price":260.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/8696\/8545\/files\/DOGABIINCENSEBURNER363.jpg?v=1778279369","url":"https:\/\/takamichibeautyroom.com\/products\/incense-burner-no-363","provider":"Takamichi Beauty Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
