This marked a global precedent for a card specialty store to become a Shoyeido distributor. Kyoto's most renowned establishment, the esteemed incense purveyor 【Shoyeido】, was founded in the second year of the Hōei era (1705). With a legacy spanning over three centuries and now in its twelfth generation, Shoyeido continues to craft incense using traditional methods and natural ingredients. Many of Kyoto's famous temples, including Kinkaku-ji, Ginkaku-ji, Tō-ji, and Kiyomizu-dera, use Shoyeido's incense sticks. The incense souvenirs you purchase at these temples are also meticulously made by Shoyeido. All incense stick products are handmade in their Kyoto workshops, adhering to ancient techniques. Furthermore, Shoyeido's entire range of products, from incense burners to small incense holders and personal incense pouches, are made in Japan using only the finest materials. Despite Shoyeido's considerable reputation in Japan and abroad, they maintain only nine directly managed stores across Japan, refraining from increasing sales points or utilizing franchise systems to expand sales volume. This ensures the highest quality of products and services. For their overseas locations, Shoyeido rigorously vets the business philosophy and practices of each distributor, strictly limiting the number of official distributors to preserve their century-old reputation. While incense sticks do not have an expiration date, to ensure enthusiasts in Taiwan can enjoy the freshest incense, "I-See-Creative" places small, bi-monthly orders directly from the Kyoto headquarters to Taipei. This guarantees the optimal quality of the incense. Moreover, through their collaborative relationship and mutual trust with the headquarters, "I-See-Creative" is one of the few distributors authorized to sell Shoyeido's limited edition overseas and Japan-exclusive products. Consequently, "I-See-Creative" has introduced ten different product lines, encompassing nearly eighty varieties of incense sticks, alongside over sixty different accessories such as incense holders, dishes, and burners. This allows you to select from a wide array of Shoyeido incense products without needing to travel to Kyoto. ※ Product dimensions are measured in centimeters when laid flat. Slight variations may occur due to manual measurement. ※ Product colors may appear slightly different due to variations in computer monitor settings. Please refer to the actual product for the most accurate color representation. ※ Please place a non-flammable ceramic plate beneath the incense holder to catch any falling ash while burning incense.
