This marks the first instance globally where a card specialty store has become a Shoyeido distributor. Kyoto's most renowned incense purveyor, [Shoyeido], established in the second year of the Hōei era (1705), boasts over three centuries of history. Now in its twelfth generation, the company continues to craft incense using traditional methods and natural ingredients. Many famous Kyoto temples, including Kinkaku-ji, Ginkaku-ji, Tōji, and Kiyomizu-dera, use Shoyeido incense. The incense souvenirs you purchase at these temples are also meticulously made by Shoyeido. All incense products are handmade in Kyoto workshops, following ancient techniques. Furthermore, Shoyeido insists on using the finest materials for its entire product line, from incense burners to small incense stands and personal sachet bags, all manufactured in Japan. Despite Shoyeido's considerable recognition both in Japan and abroad, the company maintains only nine directly managed stores nationwide, refraining from expanding sales points or utilizing franchise systems to increase sales volume, thereby ensuring the highest quality of products and services. For its global overseas branches, Shoyeido rigorously vets the business philosophy and attitude of each distributor and strictly limits the number of official distributors to protect its century-old reputation. Although incense has no expiration date, to ensure Taiwanese enthusiasts can enjoy the freshest incense, I-Sheng Cultural & 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 cooperation and mutual trust with the head office, I-Sheng Cultural & Creative is one of the few distributors authorized to sell Shoyeido's limited edition overseas incense and Japan-exclusive products. Consequently, I-Sheng Cultural & Creative has introduced ten different product lines, nearly eighty varieties of incense, and offers more than sixty types of accessories such as incense stands, holders, and burners. This allows you to select from a wide range of Shoyeido incense products without having to travel to Kyoto. ※ Product dimensions are measured in centimeters when laid flat. Slight variations due to manual measurement are inevitable. ※ Product colors may differ slightly due to computer monitor settings. Please refer to the actual product for the most accurate color representation. ※ Please place a non-combustible ceramic dish beneath the incense stand to catch ashes while burning incense.
