Experience the quiet ritual of Japanese incense with this piece of Kohboku fragrant wood. Carrying the provisional name "Nodokeki Mine," meaning Tranquil Peak, this 0.4 gram piece is classified as Manaka and identified as jinko (agarwood). Its poetic name draws on a classical verse by Prince Munenaga, evoking mountain cherry blossoms glowing in the morning sun.
In Kodo, the traditional art of scent appreciation, practitioners "listen" to the subtle fragrance released by heated raw wood rather than burning standard incense sticks. To keep quality consistent across the piece, this wood arrives pre-cut into thin strips about 1mm thick, with short edges ranging from 3mm to 8mm. The grain runs cleanly along the strip, so it splits easily by hand or with a blade if you'd like smaller portions.
This unused item comes wrapped in traditional paper measuring 192mm by 160mm by 23mm. Please note that purchase is limited to one piece per customer.
