WELCOME TO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF FRAGRANCE

d

Koh-do, the art of incense, has been known for over 1000 years.

Elegant and refined, it is an important part of poetry and classical literature in Japan.

Incense burning is a source of inspiration.

It brings inner peace and spiritual freedom to the mind.

f

There are two major types of incense in Japan, which are either heating or shouldering small pieces of fragrant wood, or direct-burning incense in form of sticks or cones formed out of paste without a bamboo stick.

Kikuya Seishindo is selling exactly those types of Japanese Incense.

f

The lack of bamboo core is for a clean burning and a pure scent.

f

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), a member of the 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 used in 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 more 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 die this resin continues to harden and mature. This resin imbued wood is then collected for incense and burning purposes.

f

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