Description:
Since 1575, Japanese incense experts Nippon Kodo have been devoted to the art and tradition of Japanese incense. This collection of incense called Elemense is a collaborative collection between Nippon Kodo and Tortoise General Store owner, Taku Shinomoto. Inspired by the 'Ten Virtues of Koh' and the 600 year old ancient Chinese belief of the five elements - Moku, Ka, Do, Kon, and Sui, which translate to Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water - all 5 Elemense incense scents are strong and distinct in their portrayal of these elements and specially blended to cultivate an atmosphere of meditation, relaxation and prayer. Under Shinomoto's direction, Elemense is presented in an understated boxed set of 40 sticks of incense with a metal cube shaped burner stand.
