This marked the first instance globally of a card specialty store becoming a Shōrōdō distributor. The renowned incense purveyor from Kyoto, Japan, 【Incense Master Shōrōdō】, was founded in Hōei 2 (1705). With over three centuries of history, now passed down to the twelfth generation, they continue to craft incense using traditional methods and natural ingredients. Many famous temples in Kyoto, such as 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 their Kyoto workshops, following ancient techniques. Furthermore, Shōrōdō insists on using the finest materials for their entire product range, from incense burners to small incense holders and personal sachet bags, all manufactured in Japan. Despite Shōrōdō's considerable reputation both in Japan and internationally, they maintain only nine directly managed stores across Japan, deliberately avoiding an increase in sales points or the use of franchise systems to ensure the highest quality of products and services. For their overseas locations, they rigorously vet each distributor's business philosophy and attitude, strictly limiting the number of official distributors to uphold their century-old reputation. While incense sticks do not have an expiration date, to ensure enthusiasts in Taiwan can enjoy the freshest incense, I-Siang Creative places orders every two months through small batch orders, directly shipped from the Kyoto headquarters to Taipei, guaranteeing the optimal quality of the incense. Moreover, due 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 different product lines, encompassing nearly eighty varieties of incense sticks, alongside approximately sixty different 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 in centimeters when laid flat.
