We're writing to share an important update regarding our Kousaido incense collection. Kousaido Kyoto communicated that elevated raw material costs have necessitated wholesale price adjustments across nearly their entire product lineup since Mid-April 2026.
As a premium incense maker with decades of craftsmanship heritage, Kousaido sources the finest natural materials—from rare woods to carefully selected botanicals. These ingredients are subject to global supply pressures, and the cost of maintaining their exacting standards has increased significantly.
To reflect these changes while we phase out existing inventory and replenish with new stock, select Kousaido products will see retail price increases. We're committed to implementing these adjustments thoughtfully, ensuring that the quality and authenticity you've come to expect remain unchanged.
If you have questions about specific products or pricing, we encourage you to reach out. We appreciate your continued support of authentic, artisanal incense craftsmanship.
