Description

The brisk and refreshing aroma evokes reveries of old Edo, where pines lined the streets frequented by travelers, keeping watch and protecting them.

It is traditionally believed that the kami (deities) dwell in evergreen trees. The word matsu means both "pine" and "wait" (for the deity to descend), and the
pine is part of the felicitous trio of pine, bamboo, and plum tree, and the auspicious pairing of crane and pine. Pine decorations are displayed at New Year's and a monumental pine tree is painted on the backdrop of the Noh stage - all expressing the pine's association with luck and longevity. In ukiyo-e woodcuts, boldy rendered pines standing in the midst of Edo-era people bustling to and fro are a classic motif.

Pine?	December 6, 2018
Reviewer: Marc C. from NJ

OK so I'm not sure you could detect a actual pine scent but this is a very well made stick, low smoke, very subtle scent that's a bit "refreshing" in a way of a slight mellow sharpness that stands out.

Nontraditional Pine	July 17, 2018
Reviewer: Jennifer

Doesn't burn with a traditional incense smell--this is a true Japanese incense with little wood burn scent. Very beautiful. My favorite in this like is the Cherry Blossom, which is above and beyond. But all of them smell nice. This isn't pine scented in a traditional sense but it is very subtle and beautiful.
