The Blade Is The Incense.
His hilt is bored through. Slot a stick into it and a raised katana appears in his hands, sloping down across the tray. There is no clip, no stand and no holder visible — the incense simply becomes the sword.
The Ash Lands On The Tray.
The tray runs 25 cm, the full length of the stick, and the blade angles down across it. Ash falls where the tray already is instead of onto the shelf, the desk or the mat.
The Sword Draws, Then Sheathes.
As the stick burns the blade gets shorter. The object is not the same at the end of the session as it was at the start — which is the reason to keep it somewhere you sit.
