Description

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.

Transported to Gion	July 6, 2020
Reviewer: Steven from California

As soon as I lit this incense, I was transported back to late nights strolling in Gion during Fall with the fragrance of incense wafting in the air. This is a purer aloeswood incense with a slight perfume note to it too. It is gentle and calming and I actually prefer this to the higher grade aloeswood incense. Such a beautiful and ethereal fragrance. The box that carries this incense is also one of the most beautiful I've seen and the metal incense holder is equally luxurious. I highly recommend this.

Beautiful!	July 17, 2018
Reviewer: Jennifer from N/A

Doesn't burn with a traditional incense smell--this is a true Japanese incense with little wood burning scent. Very beautiful. My favorite in this like is the Cherry Blossom, which is above and beyond. But all of them smell nice. This one has a very earthy woody smell.
