Incense - Hime no Ka - Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter Four Seasons Incense Gift Box - Enjoy the elegance and joy of indirect incense burning

Incense - Hime no Ka Gift Box - For Indirect Incense Burning Emitting four seasonal scents, from gentle floral notes to soothing woody aromas, enjoy delicate fragrances through indirect burning. These small, charming incense pieces, like a princess's playthings, are piled into a small box. Approximately 20 pieces of each of the four scents, each about 1cm in diameter. Meticulously cut into shapes such as fans, chrysanthemums, maple leaves, mallets, and gourds. Spring Flower (Red): A subtly sweet and delightful plum blossom scent, as if you are in a plum garden. Summer Green (Green): The fresh scent of green grass nurtured by early summer sunshine. Autumn Taste (Yellow): The aroma of maple leaves in the golden sunset. Winter Morning (Gray): A subtle, crisp, and clear fragrance of a winter morning. Indirect incense burning requires a separate incense burner, charcoal, and ash. Words of Creation (我思文創), Taiwan's sole card specialty store, was favored by Japan's Shoyeido of Kyoto in 2018, becoming Shoyeido's official distributor in Taiwan. This also marked the first instance globally of a card specialty store becoming a Shoyeido distributor. Kyoto, Japan's most renowned incense purveyor, [香老鋪 松榮堂] Shoyeido, was founded in Hōei 2 (1705). With over three hundred years of history and now in its twelfth generation, Shoyeido continues to craft incense using traditional methods and natural ingredients. Many famous Kyoto temples, such as Kinkaku-ji, Ginkaku-ji, Tō-ji, and Kiyomizu-dera, use Shoyeido's incense sticks. The incense souvenirs you purchase at these temples are also carefully made by Shoyeido. All incense products are handmade in Kyoto workshops following ancient techniques. Shoyeido's entire range of products, from incense burners to small incense rests and personal sachets, insists on using the finest materials and is manufactured in Japan. Despite Shoyeido's considerable reputation in Japan and abroad, they maintain only nine directly managed stores across Japan, refraining from increasing sales points or using franchise systems to boost sales, thereby ensuring the highest quality of products and services. For their overseas locations, Shoyeido rigorously vets the business philosophy and attitude of each distributor and strictly limits the number of official distributors to preserve their century-old reputation. Although incense sticks do not have an expiration date, to ensure that enthusiasts in Taiwan can enjoy the freshest incense, Words of Creation (我思文創) places small orders every two months, directly shipped from the Kyoto headquarters to Taipei, guaranteeing the optimal quality of the incense. Furthermore, due to the cooperative relationship and mutual trust with the headquarters, Words of Creation (我思文創) is one of the few distributors authorized to sell Shoyeido's limited overseas edition incense and Japan-exclusive products. Consequently, Words of Creation (我思文創) has now introduced seven different product lines, encompassing nearly eighty varieties of incense, along with over sixty types of related accessories such as incense stands, dishes, and burners. This allows you to select from a wide array of Shoyeido incense products without needing to travel to Kyoto. ※ All product dimensions are measured flat in centimeters.
