Kunjudo is a Japanese incense manufacturer established in 1893 on Awaji Island. Awaji Island is historically significant in Japan's incense culture, as it's where fragrant wood, likely agarwood, first washed ashore in 595 AD according to the Chronicles of Japan.

For over 130 years, Kunjudo has built a reputation for quality, employing skilled scent masters (Koh-shi) and artisans. Kunjudo is committed to meticulous craftsmanship, using carefully selected natural ingredients and rare wood powders. They also prioritize innovation, having developed the world's first reduced-smoke incense in 1975 and utilizing eco-friendly materials like coconut shell charcoal.

Kunjudo seeks to expand the use of incense beyond its traditional associations with temples and funerals, developing products with minimal smoke and exploring new forms like paper incense (HA KO) and paper strip incense.

This fragrance is made using plenty of heartwood close to the roots of sandalwood and sandalwood oil that has been sealed and aged for over 10 years, and has a natural wood scent with a refined sweetness.

A semi-parasitic evergreen tree of the Santalaceae family. Over the last half century, the heartwood produces a sweet, heavy, and warm fragrance. The oriental scent lasts, and it has been used as an essential oil in the Western world. Although the characteristics vary depending on the place of origin, the mellow one from southern India is considered the best. 

Key Ingredients: Old Mountain Sandalwood and Sandalwood Oil (India) / Tabunoki powder (Thailand)
