The Yume no Yume plates are all adorable and I'd love to collect them all some day. Each plate is fairly small (about palm sized) and the hole to put the incense in is relatively shallow. I would recommend breaking sticks in half to use with these so ashes don't fall over the edge. My picture shows it with half a Morning Star gardenia stick.

It's easy to clean, just wipe it with a damp cloth every once in a while.

The bamboo leaf plate looks so elegant! The design is simple, but the bright green leaves really pop with the white background. The hole which holds the incense is suited for somewhat thick pieces; I have adapted it to hold thinner sticks (such as the Morning Star line) by putting a small drop of wax in the hole. You may also break the smaller sticks in half so that the ash doesn't fall over the edge.

I only really need one of these, but its beauty and delicacy tempts me to collect more of the Yume no Yume plates. They're too pretty!!
