Japanese Shoeido Gozan/Five Hills [Five Hills] incense sticks

Inspired by the five legendary mountains that encircle the city of Kyoto, Lilac and the finest sandalwood from Mysore, India, create a mellow, deep fusion. "Five Mountains" helps to promote an atmosphere of calm and contemplation. At the beginning of the 18th century, Moriyoshi Rokuzaemon HATA, the current head of the Tanba-Sosayama area in Kyoto Prefecture, founded a shop called "SASAYA". Rokubei Moritsune HATA, who represents the third generation of the HATA family to make incense, began to incorporate the incense-making methods he learned while working at the Kyoto Imperial Palace. He tapped into the secret court tradition of mixing incense that had previously been the secret recipe of royalty only. Nearly three hundred years later, the HATA family continues the legacy of their innovative ancestors, offering a wide variety of unique hand-blended incense. Handed down from generation to generation, Shoyeido Shoyeido has been recognized as the highest quality and most natural incense in the world. Shoeido's perfect incense for everyday use anytime, but with a level of sophistication for any special occasion.
