Hina Incense Burner Set for Indirect Heating

Shoyeido's Hina Incense Burner (Portable) is specifically designed for 'soradaki' (indirect heating). There is no need to add ash; the custom-fitted holder is designed to perfectly accommodate a single piece of Shoyeido's Miyako Charcoal. Simply place incense tablets, wood chips, or kneaded incense on the metal mesh to enjoy the art of indirect heating. This method is environmentally friendly, as it releases fragrance through indirect heat without generating smoke. Each kit includes the burner along with five pieces of 'Incense Hime' (incense tablets), allowing you to experience the elegance of soradaki immediately. Woosa, a unique card specialty store, was selected by Shoyeido of Kyoto, Japan, in 2018 to become an official distributor in Taiwan—a unique precedent for a card specialty store globally. Established in 1705 (the second year of the Hoei era), the renowned 'Shoyeido Incense Shop' in Kyoto, Japan, boasts over 300 years of history. Now in its twelfth generation, the brand continues to use traditional methods and natural ingredients. Many iconic Kyoto temples, including Kinkaku-ji, Ginkaku-ji, To-ji, and Kiyomizu-dera, use incense produced by Shoyeido, and the incense sold at these temple gift shops is also carefully crafted by them. All incense products are hand-made in their Kyoto workshop following ancient traditions. Their entire range—from incense burners and small incense stands to portable sachets—is crafted in Japan using premium materials. Despite their widespread recognition both in Japan and abroad, Shoyeido maintains only nine direct-managed stores within Japan. They do not aggressively expand sales outlets or use franchise systems, ensuring the highest quality of goods and service. For global overseas locations, they strictly screen the business philosophy and attitude of every distributor, limiting the number of official partners to uphold their century-old reputation. While incense does not have an expiration date, Woosa places small orders every two months to ensure enthusiasts in Taiwan receive the freshest products, shipped directly from the Kyoto headquarters to Taipei. Through this trusted partnership, Woosa is one of the few distributors authorized to sell Shoyeido's overseas limited-edition incense and Japan-exclusive items. Currently, Woosa has introduced seven different product lines, featuring nearly eighty varieties of incense, alongside over sixty types of incense stands, trays, and burners. This allows you to explore and purchase a wide selection of Shoyeido products without having to travel to Kyoto. Shoyeido incense burners are semi-handcrafted in Japan. You may notice iron powder (black dots), slight glaze inconsistencies, or unevenness. The fine powders used to create intricate textures may appear white, reddish, or grayish due to hand-painting; these are not defects, so please use them with confidence. Variations in texture and coloring are characteristic of handmade items. * Please handle with care as this is a fragile item. For safety, do not move the incense burner after the charcoal has been lit. ※ All product dimensions are measured flat in centimeters; minor deviations due to manual measurement are inevitable. ※ Product colors may vary slightly depending on computer monitor settings; please refer to the actual product received.
