Experience the refined art of traditional Japanese fragrance with this 0.65g sample of Ojukuko aromatic wood, provisionally named "Kono Yo." This classic Sumondara-type wood releases a rich aroma even at room temperature, rising into a gentle yet brilliantly elegant scent when heated. Its poetic name draws from a classical waka poem of celebration, one that wishes for long life and shared joy.
In Kodo, the traditional Japanese art of incense appreciation, fragrant woods are prized for their subtle depth. This piece shows a natural mix of reddish, dark, and light brown hues, yet every part shares the same exquisite scent profile, a mark of quality that makes it a highly refined, recommended example of Ojukuko.
The wood is cut into short strips, chosen to reflect the range of quality found across the whole piece. Each strip measures about 3mm to 8mm along the short edge and roughly 1mm thick, with the grain running so that you can easily slice it further by hand or with a knife.
Your piece comes wrapped in a traditional tatamigami paper wrap
