Japanese incense
Awaji Koshi Japanese incense is 100% made from natural raw materials. The scents are subtle and remain in the room where the incense is burned for a long time.
The Awaji Island kohshi range consists of the following series:
- The Japanese Fragrance Series,
- The Finest Selection Series
- The Four Seasons Series
- Incense holders
Unlike incense from India, Japanese incense is not made from a bamboo stick as a base, but consists entirely of the natural raw materials of the incense itself. This burns the incense in its entirety and also reflects the excellent quality of this handmade incense.
In this video you can take a look at the factory where Awaji kohshi incense is made.
History of Frankincense
In Japan, frankincense has played an important role in the daily life and culture of the Japanese for centuries.
Frankincense was originally used in temples to honor the gods.
In Japan, incense is still used in religious rituals and in the cemetery to honor the deceased.
About 70% of all Japanese incense is made on the Japanese island of Awaji.
Watch here for a video of how Awaji's incense can be used for a ceremony at the cemetery.
