This marks the first instance globally of a card specialty store becoming a Shōrōdō distributor. Kyoto's most renowned establishment, the esteemed incense purveyor 【Shōrōdō】, was founded in Hōei 2 (1705). With a legacy spanning over three centuries and now in its twelfth generation, Shōrōdō 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 Shōrōdō incense. The incense souvenirs you purchase at these temples are also meticulously made by Shōrōdō. All incense products are handcrafted in their Kyoto workshops, adhering to ancient techniques. Furthermore, Shōrōdō insists on using the finest materials for their entire product range, from incense burners to small incense rests and portable incense pouches, all manufactured in Japan. Despite Shōrōdō's considerable reputation in Japan and abroad, they maintain only nine directly managed stores across Japan, deliberately avoiding the expansion of sales points or the use of franchise systems to increase sales volume, thereby ensuring the highest quality of products and services. For their global overseas locations, Shōrōdō rigorously vets the business philosophy and attitude of each distributor, strictly limiting the number of official distributors to safeguard their century-old reputation. While incense does not have an expiration date, to ensure enthusiasts in Taiwan can enjoy the freshest incense, I-Siang Creative places orders every two months using a small-batch approach. These are directly shipped from the Kyoto headquarters to Taipei, guaranteeing the optimal quality of the incense. Moreover, thanks to the collaborative relationship and mutual trust with the headquarters, I-Siang Creative is one of the few distributors authorized to sell Shōrōdō's overseas limited edition incense and Japan-exclusive products. Consequently, I-Siang Creative has now introduced ten distinct product lines, encompassing nearly eighty different types of incense, alongside approximately sixty varieties of related accessories such as incense rests, dishes, and burners. This allows you to select from a wide array of Shōrōdō incense products without needing to travel to Kyoto. ※ Product dimensions are measured in centimeters when laid flat.
