Savor the deep, rich fragrance of aloeswood, prized by the people of old Edo as the most luxurious of fragrances. Incense-smelling ceremonies were the practice of court nobles, feudal lords and other wealthy people. Among commoners as well, while they may have lacked access to genuine fragrant woods, there was much fascination with them, and they are frequently featured in works of Kabuki and Joruri theater.

The word kyara, meaning aloeswood, even became a general term for "something wonderful". Hair wax that evokes the scent of aloeswood was extremely popular as well. Experience the fragrance, and understand why it was the most highly prized of scents.

  • Includes 60 incense sticks (9cm)
  • 12 minutes burn time each
  • Package includes 1 incense sliver holder, wood box (2 5/8" x 4" x13/16"

Care Instructions

For Incense: Hold a live flame to the "end" of the incense until the incense itself catches on fire. Allow that flame to burn for a few seconds while the incense creates its own self fueling ember. Blow the flame out. Enjoy beautifully unfurling tendrils of rich sensuous scent wafts.


For Candle: Trim wick to 1/4" each time before lighting. Always place candles on a fireproof surface or in a holder. 

For Diffuser: Remove the rubber stopper carefully. Place 10-15 sticks inside the bottle to saturate with oil. The sticks will draw the oils and diffuse the fragrance into the room. Please allow 24–36 hours for the fragrance to diffuse. 

Caution

  • As with all things flammable, we do want to remind you that you should take care in using incense. 
  • Please ensure that you do not leave the incense unattended.
  • Burn incense in a well ventilated room to avoid build up of the smoke. 
  • Keep lit and unlit incense away from children and pets.
  • Women who are pregnant should consult their doctor before burning incense.
