Shoyeido Morning Zen – Extra-Long Japanese Incense Sticks

Shoyeido Morning Zen is a traditional Japanese incense from Kyoto, featuring extra-long incense sticks with a burning time of approximately two hours. It belongs to Shoyeido's Zen collection and is particularly suitable for extended incense-burning sessions and the Japanese practice of seated meditation known as Zazen.

Sandalwood and spices – warm, woody and aromatic

The fragrance composition of Shoyeido Morning Zen contains sandalwood, cinnamon, cloves and other spices. Sandalwood provides a warm, soft and woody foundation, while cinnamon and cloves give the fragrance a pleasant spicy depth.

A fresh, aromatic facet complements the warm woody and spicy notes. The result is a balanced fragrance character that is well suited to morning incense burning without being overpowering. The ingredients mentioned are among the known components of the composition but do not represent its complete formula.

Japanese incense culture and Zazen

In the Japanese Zen tradition, Zazen refers to seated meditation. Incense has long been used in this religious and cultural setting. The extra-long Morning Zen incense sticks provide a steady release of fragrance into the room throughout extended sessions.

Measuring approximately 33 cm in length and with a burning time of around 2 hours, they differ considerably from ordinary Japanese incense sticks. A suitable, stable incense holder with a sufficiently large fireproof base is recommended for use.
