We would like you to enjoy your favorite fragrance as long as possible.
Have you ever wanted that your favorite rich fragrance could last much longer?
Spiral incense can be an answer to such a request, and that’s why it has been added to Kaori no Sho seires.

Compared to regular incense sticks with 30 minutes of burning time, or long sticks with 60 minutes burning time, this coil incense has approximately 2 hours burning time, so now there is possibility for you to burn your favorite incenses for a long period of time.
That’ is why this fragrance can be also sufficiently enjoyed in wide rooms.
This coil incense is recommended for all those clients who up to now have felt that the spread of fragrance of incense sticks is too weak.

Also, usually while making coil incenses, there is a problem with the endurance of its shape. That is why many coil incenses are much thicker, and that is why their fragrance is much more intense than the same product in a shape of sticks.
However, when it comes to Kaori no Sho Series, when comparing to sticks of the same fragrance, since there is no difference in thickness, there is also no change in the fragrance.

Gyokushodo’s “Hana no Sho” from “Kaori no Sho” series is an incense which has been created for the most part with a high quality sandalwood from India.  
Borneo camphor with its invigorating fragrance has been blended into refreshing sandalwood. Then rich fragrance of agarwood was also incorporated.
As a result, a sandalwood-based pure, light fragrance and agarwood’s tranquil, calming, profound aroma have been united to create this balanced fragrance.

WELCOME TO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF FRAGRANCE

Koh-do (“Way of Incense”) is the Japanese art of appreciating incense. It has been known for over 1000 years and recognized as elegant and refined. It is important part of poetry and classical literature of Japan.

Incense burning is a source of inspiration. It brings inner peace and spiritual freedom to the mind.

There are two major types of incense in Japan.

Indirect-burning incense, which can be smoldering piece of fragrant wood, and direct-burning incense in a form of stick or cone, made from incense paste without a bamboo core.

Kohgen is selling exactly those types of Japanese Incense.

Since there is no bamboo core and incense is made from pure incense material, you can enjoy pure fragrance without underlying scent of burning wood.

The process of making Japanese incense:
 

Blending the finest natural ingredients and binding them with the powder of Tabu-koh, the bark of Tabu-no-ki. Tabu-no-ki is Japanese huge bay tree (Machilus thunbergii), which belongs to Laurel family. After such combination is mixed with water it is extruded just like spaghetti, and then allowed to dry in a form of solid sticks of pure incense.

  About aloeswood 

f

In Japan aloeswood is seen as a sacred and important wood. It is one of the most distinguished ingredients of some Japanese incense.

During the Kamakura period (1185-1333) the Japanese began using various raw woods such as aloeswood in the making of incense. Some incense was used in a recreational way while others were used in the most important of religious ceremonies. This led to a classification system for grading the qualities of aloeswood. The very finest quality aloeswood is referred to as Kyara. Good quality aloeswood fetches very high prices and this is reflected in the prices of the highest quality aloeswood incenses. f

Aloeswood is also an important wood in the Middle East and in many places is burned daily to accompany prayer. It is also known as agarwood, eaglewood, oud or gaharu. 

The wood itself has no significant aroma. Aloeswood is obtained from the evergreen daphne genus tree. When a fungus infects the tree a resin begins to form. When the trees dies this resin continues to harden and mature. This resin imbued wood is then collected for incense and burning purposes. 

In Japan it is considered a great honour to receive a gift of fine aloeswood or Kyara.f
