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 here.

We offer several types of resinous incense wood from various countries, each with a distinctive fragrance. Each gram provides enough wood for several incense ceremonies.
