Among agarwood from the Hengai (Xingzhou) region, Kalimantan is considered one of the most superior producing areas. This vast island in Indonesia covers about three-quarters of Borneo, approximately 15 times the size of Taiwan, yet its population is only half that of Taiwan. Kalimantan's virgin forests are abundant, particularly renowned for agarwood. In recent years, due to extreme exploitation, its production has drastically decreased, making high-quality Kalimantan agarwood quite rare and its acquisition a matter of luck.
Kalimantan agarwood is characterized by its rich, deep agarwood aroma, often accompanied by a cooling sensation, sometimes blending with notes of frankincense or fruity floral scents. Its texture is smooth and sweet, making it an ideal choice for consumers seeking premium agarwood.

Born in Hsinchu, Taiwan in 1983, with a background in craft design. He has wandered through Japanese streets, experiencing how wooden art injects warm and profound vitality into ancient alleyways. These objects, like fragments of time, carrying traces of history and outlines of the future, seek a delicate balance between opposition and harmony, transforming into intricate works that closely connect the vision of the new generation with the simplicity of the old era. Agarwood, once ground into powder for appreciation, was solemnly placed in the most prominent areas of homes in Japan, symbolizing vitality and light.
The agarwood is sourced directly from its origin, pure and flawless, untouched by artificial processes such as boiling glue, drawing lines, or adding fragrances. It is presented in its most natural state. Through ancient techniques of "gouxiang" (incense-hooking), the outer layers of deadwood are meticulously hand-peeled, revealing the true soul of the agarwood. This not only imbues it with eternal vitality but also allows tradition and modern craftsmanship to subtly intertwine at the fingertips, creating a feast for the eyes and the senses. Its rich aroma, like condensed time, gently draws together past memories and future aspirations, allowing them to meet and resonate within the fragrance, continuously extending, distant and profound.
