How do you use incense?

Using incense is simple and meaningful. Light the end of the stick, blow out the flame and place the incense in a holder or a small dish containing ash. Place the burning incense in the centre or a corner of a room, so that the smoke spreads evenly. This allows you to enjoy the refined fragrance that fills the atmosphere, even after the stick has burnt out.

Discover Nippon Kodo’s Kyara Sticks

Within the Nippon Kodo collection, the Kyara Aloeswood Sticks hold a special place. This rare type of wood has been prized in Japan for centuries for its deep, rich fragrance. Each stick is carefully handcrafted, with artisans combining traditional techniques with modern expertise. The result is a refined incense that brings serenity and immerses you in the timeless culture of Japan.
