Kunsho by Baieido are Japanese incense coils from Osaka. Their composition combines Vietnamese agarwood and Indian sandalwood with cassia, star anise, patchouli, clove and other ingredients. One box contains 5 coils.
Kunsho has a warm, woody-spicy character. The Vietnamese agarwood shapes the aromatic woody note, accompanied by the softer warmth of sandalwood. Cassia, star anise and clove contribute spicy facets, while patchouli complements the composition with an earthy note.
Kunsho as a Japanese incense coil
The coil shape allows for long and continuous incense burning. Each coil burns for approximately 110 minutes. To use, light the tip, then blow out the flame and place the glowing coil on a suitable fire-resistant surface designed for incense coils.
The box contains 5 Kunsho incense coils. The Baieido item number for this version is #712-2.
Woods and spices in the Kunsho composition
Like other classic incense compositions by Baieido, Kunsho combines aromatic woods with various spices. According to the manufacturer, the agarwood used comes from Vietnam; it is complemented by Indian sandalwood, cassia, star anise, patchouli and clove. Within Baieido's range of incense coils, Kunsho is therefore distinguished by its own particular balance of these shared traditional aromatic materials.
