Gyokushodo Incense (玉初堂)
One of Japan's most quietly revered incense houses founded in Osaka in 1804.
Masters of layered blending, Gyokushodo weave precious agarwood, Indonesian sandalwood, and time-honored spices into compositions of rare refinement. Pioneers of the 12-hour spiral incense, their craft is both ancient and inventive. Each stick is a small ritual.
