Starting from the fragrant woods of sandalwood (Byakudan) and from the precious agar resin (Jinko), which form the basis of the best Japanese incense, the masters of Shoyeido mix - according to proportions handed down for centuries and keeping under control the humidity and the time of drying necessary - finely ground natural ingredients and plant-based spices, combining them with spring water and a natural binding material called tabuko, which binds all the elements together without the need for a bamboo core.
The result is a refined incense that burns for an extraordinary long time, filling the environment with Japanese delicacy. 10 coils, Ø 5 cm, burning time approx. 2 hours and 20 minutes minutes. Including a sleek ceramic incense holder.
