Kunjudo – Japanese Incense Sticks from Awaji Island (2)
Kunjudo Japanese incense sticks are made on Awaji Island — one of Japan's historic centres of incense production — and bring together five ranges with floral, fresh, contemporary and deeply Japanese aromas for meditation and home scenting.
Five Kunjudo ranges for meditation and an authentic Japanese atmosphere
Each range has its own distinct character and explores a different aspect of Kunjudo's craft:
Hanautage — Its name evokes a "banquet of flowers": a soft, floral and woody composition for a calm, welcoming atmosphere.
Kozanmai — Inspired by Japanese aromas such as sencha green tea, bamboo and hinoki cypress: fresh, discreet scents for living spaces, restaurants and tea rooms.
Hana Kaori — Light, floral compositions for a pleasant, everyday home fragrance.
Furyu-Kajin — An original range that pairs the note of Japanese ink with botanical and floral aromas — a contemplative, understated and deeply Japanese composition evoking calligraphy and traditional arts.
Takara — Its name means "treasure": a contemporary range for regular everyday use, with clean, balanced aromas.
How to use Kunjudo incense sticks
Hold a flame briefly to the tip of the stick, then gently blow it out after a few seconds — it will smoulder steadily from there. Use a stable holder in ceramic, wood or metal that fully catches the ash. A lightly ventilated room is enough to allow the delicate Japanese aromas to fully unfold.
Kunjudo incense sticks also make a refined gift for anyone who loves Japanese craftsmanship, meditation and delicate home fragrances.
