Japan or China ? I have a feeling it may hold incense sticks. I tried measuring in inches but CM. comes closer . 8cm high---14 cm long --5.5 cm wide

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

hi , fleafinder .Who has a branch in Beijing ? Is this item a incense stick holder ? Not having a country of origin stamp is this item not made for export from china or japan ?

If someone bought it in China it would not need a country of origin stamp and it could have had a label that was removed .It could be a incense hold but I wonder if it held cigarettes and a lighter. Are the holes big enough for a cigarettes.

the holes are small--I could just about squeeze in a birthday candle. Maybe stick matches and incense sticks
