"Kunro Assortment" is presented as a gift box, offering seven different Kunro series products at once. These seven incense sticks, each with its unique charm, allow you to experience the distinct sensations of the Kunro series all at once. In 2018, I-Siang Cultural and Creative, Taiwan's sole dedicated card specialty store, gained the favor of Japan's Kyōto-based Shoyeido, becoming its official distributor in Taiwan. This marked the first instance globally of a card specialty store becoming a Shoyeido distributor. Shoyeido, the renowned incense master from Kyōto, Japan, was founded in Hōei 2 (1705). With over three centuries of tradition, now in its twelfth generation, the company continues to craft incense using traditional methods and natural ingredients. Many famous temples in Kyōto, such as Kinkaku-ji, Ginkaku-ji, Tō-ji, and Kiyomizu-dera, use Shoyeido's incense. The incense souvenirs purchased at these temples are also meticulously made by Shoyeido. All incense products are handcrafted in Kyōto workshops following ancient techniques. Shoyeido's other comprehensive range of products, from incense burners to small incense rests and personal sachets, are all made in Japan using the finest materials. Despite Shoyeido's considerable renown in Japan and abroad, the company maintains only nine directly managed stores across Japan, refraining from expanding sales points or utilizing franchise systems to increase sales volume. This ensures the highest quality of products and services. For its global overseas locations, Shoyeido strictly scrutinizes the business philosophy and attitude of each distributor and limits the number of official distributors to safeguard its century-old reputation. Although incense does not have an expiration date, to ensure that enthusiasts in Taiwan can enjoy the freshest incense, I-Siang Cultural and Creative places small, bi-monthly orders directly from Shoyeido's headquarters in Kyōto to Taipei, guaranteeing the optimal quality of the incense. Furthermore, due to the collaborative relationship and mutual trust with the head office, I-Siang Cultural and Creative is one of the few distributors authorized to sell Shoyeido's limited overseas editions and Japan-exclusive products. Consequently, I-Siang Cultural and Creative has introduced nine different product lines, encompassing over eighty distinct types of incense, along with nearly seventy varieties of incense accessories such as incense holders, dishes, and burners. This allows you to select from a wide array of Shoyeido incense products without needing to travel to Kyōto. Each box of incense includes a small gray incense holder. This holder is designed for user convenience and is made from high-temperature, high-pressure molded natural horticultural soil. Each holder can be used for approximately eighty sticks of incense.
