He Shou Wu (Fo-Ti Root) Harmony Incense Comb – Blossoms & Birds Edition
The He Shou Wu (Fo-Ti Root) Harmony Incense Comb – Blossoms & Birds Edition is a handcrafted cultural grooming object inspired by traditional Chinese decorative motifs and material craftsmanship.
Formed from a pressed blend of Polygonum multiflorum (He Shou Wu) herbal powder, nanmu wood powder, and sandalwood powder, the comb is shaped as a single solid piece without plastic or resin fillers. Its raised Blossoms & Birds relief draws from classical visual language often found in painting and carved objects, where floral and avian imagery symbolized seasonal harmony and refined elegance.
The design emphasizes ornamental detail, material texture, and balanced composition, presenting the comb as a daily-use object with cultural and aesthetic value rather than a therapeutic or ritual tool.
Material & Sensory Character
-
Material profile: pressed herbal powder combined with nanmu and sandalwood powders
-
Surface texture: smooth with sculpted relief detailing and a softly matte finish
-
Aromatic impression: light herbal-wood scent, subtle and unobtrusive
The natural aroma remains restrained and close to the surface, suitable for routine use without overwhelming the senses.
Design & Cultural Reference
In traditional Chinese art, blossoms and birds frequently appeared as paired motifs representing harmony, seasonal rhythm, and the balance between movement and stillness.
This comb references those ideas through relief carving, flowing line work, and measured proportions, translating classical imagery into a contemporary personal object.
The result is a visual dialogue between traditional symbolism and modern material form, expressed through design rather than implied influence.
