This marked the first instance globally of a card specialty store becoming a Shoyeido distributor. Kyoto's most renowned establishment, the venerable incense purveyor Shoyeido, was founded in 1705. Now in its twelfth generation, the company continues to craft incense using traditional methods and natural ingredients. Many of Kyoto's famous temples, including Kinkaku-ji, Ginkaku-ji, To-ji, and Kiyomizu-dera, use Shoyeido incense. The incense souvenirs you purchase at these temples are also meticulously made by Shoyeido. All incense products are handcrafted in Kyoto workshops, following ancient techniques. Furthermore, Shoyeido's entire range of products, from incense burners to small incense holders and personal incense pouches, are made in Japan using the finest materials. Despite Shoyeido's considerable renown both in Japan and internationally, they maintain only nine directly managed stores across Japan, deliberately avoiding an increase in sales points or the use of franchise systems to expand sales volume, thereby ensuring the highest quality of products and services. For their overseas locations, Shoyeido rigorously vets each distributor's business philosophy and practices, and strictly limits the number of official distributors to preserve their century-old reputation. While incense has no expiration date, to ensure enthusiasts in Taiwan can enjoy the freshest incense, I-Sheng Cultural and Creative places orders every two months through small batch orders. These are shipped directly from the Kyoto headquarters to Taipei, guaranteeing the optimal quality of the incense. Moreover, thanks to the cooperative and trusting relationship with the headquarters, I-Sheng Cultural and Creative is one of the few distributors authorized to sell Shoyeido's overseas limited edition incense and Japan-exclusive products. Consequently, I-Sheng Cultural and Creative has introduced ten different product lines, encompassing nearly eighty varieties of incense. They also offer a selection of over sixty complementary items, including incense holders, dishes, and burners. This allows you to experience a wide array of Shoyeido incense products without needing to travel to Kyoto. ※ Product dimensions are measured in centimeters when laid flat. Slight variations due to manual measurement are to be expected. ※ Due to variations in computer monitor settings, the color of the product images may differ slightly from the actual product. Please understand. ※ Please place a non-flammable ceramic plate beneath the incense holder to catch any falling ash while burning incense.
