Nippon Kodo Oedo-Koh Peony Tree – 60 Incense Sticks

Oedo-Koh Peony Tree by Nippon Kodo is a Japanese incense inspired by the peony and the atmosphere of the entertainment districts of old Edo. Its perfumed, powdery peony fragrance is presented in an elaborately designed package containing 60 short incense sticks and a small metal holder.

Peony – a fragrance inspired by the world of Edo

The peony enjoyed great popularity during the Edo period and was admired for its magnificent appearance. Nippon Kodo draws on this imagery for Oedo-Koh Peony Tree, associating the flower with the elegant yet fleeting world of the geisha and teahouse districts of the time. The peony is presented as the “Queen of Flowers”.

According to the historical inspiration recounted by Nippon Kodo, guests at teahouses are even said to have measured the time they spent there by the burning of incense sticks. Oedo-Koh Peony Tree is therefore conceived not merely as a floral fragrance, but as an olfactory reference to a particular aspect of urban life in historic Edo.

Perfumed and powdery peony fragrance

The fragrance character is described as floral, perfumed and powdery. The peony note takes centre stage, giving the incense a soft, elegant floral character.

Peony refers to the fragrance of the incense. The precise aromatic composition is not specified, so the name should not be taken to indicate the actual use of peony flowers, extracts or other specific botanical ingredients.

60 short Japanese incense sticks

The pack contains 60 incense sticks without a bamboo core and a small metal holder. Each stick burns for approximately 12 minutes. This short format makes Oedo-Koh Peony Tree particularly suitable for a compact incense-burning session.
