I-See Culture, Taiwan's sole card specialty store, gained the favor of Japan's Shoyeido in 2018, becoming their official distributor in Taiwan. This marked a unique precedent as the only card specialty store globally to become a Shoyeido distributor. [Incense Masters Shoyeido], a renowned establishment in Kyoto, Japan, was founded in the second year of the Hōei era (1705). Now in its twelfth generation, the company continues to craft incense using traditional methods and natural ingredients. Many of Kyoto's most famous temples, including Kinkaku-ji, Ginkaku-ji, Tō-ji, and Kiyomizu-dera, use Shoyeido's incense sticks. The incense souvenirs purchased at these temples are also meticulously made by Shoyeido. All incense stick products are handmade following ancient techniques in their Kyoto workshops. Furthermore, Shoyeido maintains its commitment to using only the finest materials for its entire product range, from incense burners to small incense rests and personal incense pouches, all manufactured in Japan. Despite Shoyeido's considerable renown both in Japan and internationally, they maintain a strict policy of only nine directly managed stores across Japan, eschewing franchise systems to ensure the highest quality of products and services. For their overseas locations, Shoyeido rigorously vets the business philosophy and practices of each potential distributor, limiting the number of official distributors to preserve their century-old reputation. While incense sticks do not have an expiration date, I-See Culture ensures that enthusiasts in Taiwan can enjoy the freshest incense by placing small orders every two months. These are shipped directly from the Kyoto headquarters to Taipei, guaranteeing the optimal quality of the incense. Thanks to their strong relationship and mutual trust with the head office, I-See Culture is one of the few distributors authorized to sell Shoyeido's limited-edition overseas incense and Japan-exclusive products. Consequently, I-See Culture has introduced nine distinct product lines, encompassing nearly eighty types of incense. They also offer a curated selection of over sixty complementary items, including incense holders, incense dishes, and burners, allowing you to experience a wide array of Shoyeido incense products without needing to travel to Kyoto. ※ Product dimensions are measured in centimeters while laid flat.
