Incense has been used in Japan for over a thousand years to purify and relax the body and mind. Traditional Japanese incense uses powdered tabu (camphor tree) as a base mixed with sandalwood or aloeswood, two major fragrant woods. Spices and other natural materials are then added for additional aroma.
Kayuragi Collection offers classic scents like Aloeswood and Sandalwood as well as modern floral and fruity fragrances. They are packaged in boxes with beautiful stripes reminiscent of old kimono patterns.
