JAPANESE INCENSE

Japanese Incense: tradition and history

From Buddhist practice to daily use: let's discover Japanese incense

Japanese incense is characterized by very delicate aromas and stands out from other types like Indian incense for their very thin sticks. Japanese incense also does not have the classic wooden or bamboo stick attached.

The tradition of incense in Japan dates back to the sixth century A.D. during the Asuka period and coincides with the introduction of Buddhist religion on the island. Japanese incenses thus become crucial in Buddhist worship and ceremonies. Nowadays, these natural incenses made with high-quality and genuine products are used in meditation practices, but also to bring positive vibes into household environments.
