[0005] In the inventions described in the prior art documents, the types of incense that can be used are limited. The present invention aims to be functional and visually enjoyable by being able to use various types of incense such as stick incense, cone type, and bamboo stick type, and by controlling the flow of the smoke to make it regular.

[0006] Here, we will describe the differences between the present invention and the invention described in the prior art documents. In the apparatus described in Patent Document 1, the incense ignition part is located between the upper and lower containers. Furthermore, the apparatus described in Patent Document 1 is designed to enjoy the complete irregularity of the smoke, and it was not possible to control the flow of the smoke. In this respect, the present invention differs from the apparatus described in Patent Document 1.

[0007] The device described in Patent Document 2 aims to allow for comfortable enjoyment of incense by trapping the smoke generated upward from the incense in a smoke reservoir, and then slowly releasing the smoke into the air. In this respect, the present invention differs from the device described in Patent Document 2.

[0008] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a smoke appreciation device that generates a stream of smoke from incense and allows for visual enjoyment of the smoke. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] To achieve the above objective, the present invention has the following features. The smoke viewing device is a device that generates a smoke flow by causing smoke to fall, and comprises a first member having a hole through which a first incense is placed and the smoke passes, a cylindrical container positioned below the first member that receives the smoke generated from the first incense and descends, and a second member positioned below the cylindrical container that has an opening that allows the smoke to be released to the outside, and is equipped with a holding member that receives the smoke and can hold a second incense. [Effects of the Invention]
