This marks the first instance globally of a card specialty store becoming a Shōrōdō distributor. The renowned Kyoto establishment, [Incense Master Shōrōdō], founded in Hōei 2 (1705), boasts over three centuries of history. Now in its twelfth generation, the company continues to produce incense using traditional methods and natural ingredients. Many famous Kyoto temples, including Kinkaku-ji, Ginkaku-ji, Tō-ji, and Kiyomizu-dera, use Shōrōdō incense. The incense souvenirs you purchase at these temples are also carefully crafted by Shōrōdō. All incense products are handmade in Kyoto workshops, adhering to ancient techniques. Furthermore, Shōrōdō insists on using the finest materials for its entire product range, from incense burners to small incense holders and personal incense pouches, all manufactured in Japan. Despite Shōrōdō's considerable fame both in Japan and internationally, the company maintains only nine directly managed stores across Japan, deliberately avoiding expansion through franchises to ensure the highest quality of products and services. For its global overseas locations, Shōrōdō rigorously vets each distributor's business philosophy and approach, strictly limiting the number of official distributors to safeguard its century-old reputation. While incense has no expiration date, to ensure enthusiasts in Taiwan can enjoy the freshest products, I-See Creative places small orders every two months. These are shipped directly from the Kyoto headquarters to Taipei, guaranteeing the optimal quality of the incense. Through its collaborative relationship and mutual trust with the head office, I-See Creative is one of the few distributors authorized to sell Shōrōdō's limited edition overseas incense and Japan-exclusive products. Consequently, I-See Creative has introduced ten distinct product lines, encompassing nearly eighty varieties of incense, alongside approximately sixty different accessories such as incense holders, dishes, and burners. This allows you to select from a wide array of Shōrōdō incense products without needing to travel to Kyoto. ※ Product dimensions are measured in centimeters when laid flat.
