Pressed Incense with cute Japanese style patterns

Today we would like to introduce Pressed Incense with cute Japanese style prints on them♪

Untitled design

In general Pressed Incense is supposed to be burned on the ash placed close to the burning charcoal, but this one emits the fragrance itself even without burning.

When the scent become faint, you can light it like an incense and enjoy. It`s not only cute but also effective!

We recommend it as a gift or a souvenir (*^^*)

Incense that brings Good Fortune

 16195963_1038214189655870_8537635536182810519_n

If you haven`t tried Kaiun Koh (Good Fortune) incense from Baieido maker yet, we would like to introduce this incense today.

It is a great long seller in Japan, containing high quality Agarwood, Sandalwood and mix of traditional herbs. The sticks have square shape, so they are easy to burn and the fragrance spreads well.
As the name is Good Fortune, this one is perfect to burn before the exams or important moments of your life!

The package is the same since its release, so it is a bit retro, but still stylish 😉

Available in many different sizes on our Kohgen World site:

The Ten Virtues of Koh

The Ten Virtues of Koh have been introduced to Japan by Zen master Ikkyū (一休宗純  1394–1481) in Muromachi period (1336-1573). They summarize benefits of using incense. Although they were introduced to Japan over 600 years ago, they are still valid and meaningful up to now.
