Among agarwood from the Xingzhou series, Kalimantan is considered one of the most premium producing regions. This vast island in Indonesia, covering about three-quarters of Borneo, is roughly 15 times the size of Taiwan but has only half its population. Kalimantan's pristine forests are abundant, particularly renowned for agarwood. In recent years, due to extreme harvesting, its yield has drastically decreased, making high-quality Kalimantan agarwood quite rare and its acquisition a matter of luck.
Kalimantan agarwood is characterized by its rich, cooling aroma, often mingled with notes of frankincense or fruity floral scents, offering a mellow and sweet profile. This makes it an ideal choice for consumers seeking premium agarwood.

Born in Hsinchu, Taiwan, in 1983, with a background in craft design, Kwood wandered the streets of Japan, experiencing how wooden art breathed warm and profound life into ancient alleyways. Objects that seemed like fragments of time, carrying traces of history and outlines of the future, sought a delicate balance between opposition and harmony, transforming into refined works that closely connect the vision of a new generation with the simplicity of the old era. Agarwood, once ground into powder for its scent, was respectfully placed in the most prominent areas of homes in Japan, symbolizing vitality and light.
Sourced directly from its origin, this agarwood is pure and flawless, untouched by artificial processes like boiling glue, drawing lines, or adding fragrances. It is presented in its most natural state, where ancient scent-extraction techniques are used to meticulously peel away the outer layers of deadwood by hand, revealing the true soul of the agarwood. This not only imbues it with eternal vitality but also allows traditional and contemporary craftsmanship to subtly intertwine at one's fingertips, creating a feast for both the eyes and the senses. Its rich aroma, like solidified time, gently draws together past memories and future aspirations, allowing them to meet and resonate within the fragrance, continuing endlessly, distant and profound.
