[Japan Kōsaidō] Four Seasons Incense Series - Kyoto Incense with Low Smoke

Originating in the Heian period of Japan, Kyoto is not only surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty but also boasts a remarkable array of traditional and religious cultures. Over 1200 years of development have deeply embedded these elements into the hearts of its people, continuously refining and elevating them. Drawing inspiration from the representative plants and scenery of Kyoto throughout the four seasons, Kōsaidō meticulously selects its raw materials. Our unique low-smoke production method allows for a more delicate appreciation of fragrance compared to traditional incense, minimizing acridity and discomfort. Immerse yourself in the rich aromas steeped in the historical essence of the ancient capital. **● Fragrance Profile** **Yae Sakura**: A blend of sandalwood, raspberry, and jasmine, its fresh, subtly sweet notes and rich floral aroma blossom as gorgeously as Kyoto's double-flowered cherry blossoms in spring. **Storax Tree**: Inspired by the image of the storax tree standing tall on a summer night, a gentle woody sandalwood is infused with the rich, exquisite fragrance of magnolia and the sweet aroma of lychee, creating a refreshing scent. **Autumn Leaves**: Based on the deep, woody notes of sandalwood and musk, this fragrance adds the creamy scent of ambergris and a sweet vanilla finish, evoking the sensory experience of maple leaves turning crimson in late autumn. **White Plum Blossom**: Utilizing the cooling sensation of borneol and the spicy notes of clove, this aroma is crafted to create a serene atmosphere, reminiscent of the dignified, noble, and tranquil white plum blossoms that bloom amidst the snow. **● Product Details** Dimensions: Approximately 150×92×30mm Contents: 70g of incense sticks (approx. 170 sticks) Burning Time: Approximately 20-25 minutes per stick **● Precautions for Use** ※ After lighting the tip of the incense stick, extinguish the flame and allow the smoke to gently waft. ※ Once lit, place the incense stick on a non-combustible incense holder. ※ Use an ash catcher below the incense holder to collect fallen ash. ※ Avoid lighting or placing incense near flammable materials or in windy areas. ※ Even after the smoke dissipates, embers may remain in unburnt incense or ash.
