Japanese
Ceremonial Incense
The ultimate in the incense experience is Koh-doh, the ceremonial style
burning of wood chips. The highest quality jinko incense wood (also called oud, agarwood
or aloeswood) is used in the Japanese incense ceremony. A censer is
carefully prepared of unscented lit charcoal buried in white ash. A mica plate is
placed on top of the hot ash. A small rice grain size piece of jinko wood is placed on top of the mica. The resinous wood is toasted
rather than burned to release the fragrance. In an incense ceremony,
the censer is passed around so that all participants get a chance to inhale
and "listen" to the incense. For more details about the Japanese
incense ceremony and how to prepare a censer, go
