This marked the first instance of a card specialty store becoming a Shōrōdō distributor globally. Kyoto's most renowned establishment, the esteemed incense house 【Shōrōdō】, was founded in Hōei 2 (1705). With a legacy spanning over three centuries, now in its twelfth generation, the house continues to craft incense using traditional methods and natural ingredients. Many famous Kyoto temples, including Kinkaku-ji, Ginkaku-ji, Tō-ji, and Kiyomizu-dera, use Shōrōdō's incense sticks. The incense souvenirs you purchase at these temples are also meticulously made by Shōrōdō. All incense products are handmade in Kyoto workshops, adhering to ancient techniques. Furthermore, Shōrōdō'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 Shōrōdō's considerable renown both in Japan and internationally, the company maintains a strict policy of only nine directly managed stores across Japan, refraining from expanding sales points or utilizing franchise systems to increase volume. This ensures the highest quality of products and services. For its global overseas locations, Shōrōdō rigorously vets the business philosophy and practices of each distributor, limiting the number of official distributors to preserve its century-old reputation. While incense sticks do not have an expiration date, to ensure enthusiasts in Taiwan can enjoy the freshest incense, I-Siang Cultural and Creative places small, bi-monthly orders directly from the Kyoto headquarters to Taipei. This guarantees the optimal quality of the incense. Moreover, through a collaborative and trusting relationship with the head office, I-Siang Cultural and Creative is one of the few distributors authorized to sell Shōrōdō's limited edition overseas incense and Japanese exclusive products. Consequently, I-Siang Cultural and Creative has introduced ten distinct product lines, encompassing nearly eighty different types of incense, alongside approximately sixty varieties of related accessories such as incense holders, 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 flat in centimeters.
