These high-grade incense sticks give off the sweet fragrance of chrysanthemum flowers and are made using incense blending techniques passed down and developed since the Heian-period (794-1185 CE). Kyūkyodō, the company that produces these incense sticks, has been operating for centuries, and during some of its history was a supplier of incense to the Imperial Court. Kyūkyudō is proud of this heritage and closely protects the long-established methods and scents that distinguish its products.
These high-grade incense sticks are made of sandalwood (santalum album) which has a refreshing, gently sweet fragrance and is reputed to bring health benefits.
