Hoyei-koh, or Eternal Treasure (as it's called here in the U.S.) is one of Shoyeido's oldest and best-known fragrances. Its fresh, uplifting scent can be found wafting through Zen temples and personal spaces alike.
Today, just a classic, an incense that not only symbolizes Shoyeido's longevity and rich fragrance oeuvre but also possibly characterizes Japanese incense as a whole.
Explore your inner landscape with the beautiful Kaho incense as a guide and companion! Order it from our website by following this link: shoyeido.com/products/kah...
Our new 'Kaho' fragrance has been realized in just this way. Memories of journeys taken, of Japan's picturesque seasons and classic landscapes, imbue this sumptuous scent with an almost palpable feeling of nostalgia and longing.
Along with sandalwood, frankincense, and agarwood, 'intention' is a key ingredient of Shoyeido's incense recipes. Similarly, visions, dreams, feelings, and reminiscences play a vital role in our craftspersons' musings with fragrance.
Whether you choose to immerse into the Lady Murasaki's ancient and lovely novel, or you select some other page-turner, we have all kinds of wonderful incense accompaniment for your vicarious travels. Here's a link to our web store to help you get started:
Our Patchouli Gift Set (shown) is just the ticket; it offers a sturdy ceramic incense tray alongside 35 sticks of what we think it the best Patchouli blend out there.
Shoyeido's Patchouli incense fixes all that. Smooth, subtle, and pure, it ends the debate, stops the drama, and dispels objections in a most dreamy fashion.
Our guess is that this symbolic scent of free-spiritedness has come to be perceived as a threat to the unsmiling, inflexible Status Quo, an aromatic menace that threatens to make permanent festival travelers of us all, should we fail to resist its seduction.
"This long-hanging, 31" x 14.5" calendar is a blend of stylish typography and expressive sumi brush strokes. Each month offers an insightful expression for contemplation and meditation."
To facilitate, Shoyeido developed its unique Portable Wood Chip Heater. Formed of flawless porcelain and encircled with bamboo mesh, this fetching unit handles in-koh, kneaded incense, and aromatic wood chips with ease.
In-koh, or pressed incense, are one of Shoyeido Incense Company's imaginative innovations in fragrance enjoyment.
In-koh aren't lighted and burned as are joss sticks; rather, the shaped pieces are gently heated up (via a small charcoal brick) to gradually release the gorgeous scent hidden within.
Besides our succulent Whitesage recipe, there are 16 other fantastical Xiang Do fragrances to explore. Grapefruit, Hinoki cypress, Agarwood, oceanic Marine, Lavender, and more: shoyeido.com/collections/...
Our Xiang Do incense are "pressed," meaning they exude a more concentrated fragrance from a smaller, compacted size. Think shorter burning times but with all the full-bodied scent of full-sized joss sticks.
Ever lit the tip of a sage smudge only to quickly lose control of the flames? It's a common, panic-inducing occurrence, and probably not how this uplifting natural fragrance should be experienced.
There's a much safer workaround: Shoyeido's Xiang Do "Whitesage" incense!
