Things Japanese in Summer / 蚊遣豚 [Art&Design]
日本の夏の風物詩とも言える、蚊遣豚(or 蚊遣り豚)。
線香の香りと共に夏を感じる一品です。
"Kayari-buta (蚊遣豚=a pig-shaped mosquito coil's container)" which is one of the things Japanese in summer. It is an article that feels summer with the smell of the mosquito coils.

それにしてもなかなか愛嬌のある姿ですよね。
Anyway it is a lovely shape, isn't it?
