Japan Shoeido Gozan/Five Hills【五山】 incense sticks(490 pieces)

The five legendary mountains surrounding the city of Kyoto provide inspiration for the mellow and deep fusion of clove and the finest sandalwood from Mysore, India. "Five Mountains" help promote an atmosphere of calm and contemplation. In the early 18th century, Moriyoshi Rokuzaemon HATA, the head of the Tanba-Sasayama area in what is now Kyoto Prefecture, founded a store called "SASAYA". Rokubei Moritsune HATA, who represents the third generation of the HATA family engaged in incense making, began to combine the incense making methods he learned while working at the Kyoto Imperial Palace. He utilized the secret traditions of the court blending incense, recipes previously reserved only for members of the royal family. Nearly three hundred years later, the HATA family continues the legacy of their innovative ancestors, offering a variety of unique handcrafted blends. Passed down from generation to generation, Shoyeido has been recognized as the highest quality and most natural incense in the world. Shoeido's perfect incense is suitable for everyday use at any time, but is also sophisticated enough for any special occasion. Fragrance length: 13.5 cm Quantity: about 490 pieces Burning time: about 30 minutes
