Choose from six exotic scents from the \'Kyosenko\' collection:

Kyoto Autumn Leaves

(Sandalwood, cinnamon, patchouli, benzoin, spices)

Created over 30 years ago to evoke the autumnal splendor of Kyoto\'s Arashiyama district, Kyoto Autumn Leaves is a true classic within the world of incense. A poetic blend of high quality cinnamon and sandalwood perfectly captures the mood and beauty of a fall day.

Golden Pavilion

Kin-kaku金閣

This recipe containing sandalwood, patchouli and cinnamon was inspired by the spectacular Kinkaku-ji temple\'s reflection in Kyokk-chi pond. If you prefer incense that is a bit more on the earthy/spicy side without sacrificing the traditional subtlety of Japanese incense, Golden Pavilion fits the bill.

Kyoto Cherry Blossoms

Kyo-zakura京桜

In Japan, the blooming sakura cherry blossom tree is an iconic symbol of Springtime. To inspire visions of spring days, we\'ve artfully combined rhubarb, clove, cinnamon and other herbs and spices to create this refreshing fragrance. The rhubarb adds a pleasantly tart quality to stimulate the senses.

Five Hills

Gozan五山

Five legendary mountains enclosing Kyoto city provide inspiration for this mellow, deep blending of cloves with the finest sandalwood from Mysore, India. Promotes an air of calmness and contemplation.

White Cloud

Haku-un白雲

A fragrance inspired by the image of white clouds in a blue sky.

Made from a decades-old recipe, White Cloud\'s high quality, earthy-sweet scent helps bring a moment of inner peace. Appropriate for casual enjoyment and formal gatherings alike.

Moss Garden

Nokibaのきば

Moss Garden is one of Shoyeido\'s oldest and best-loved incense recipes. An impeccable blend of sandalwood, patchouli, and benzoin constitute this mild fragrance, evocative of plum flowers blooming by the windows.

About Shoyeido:

Over 1,400 years ago, a large piece of fragrant driftwood washed ashore on the tiny Japanese island of Awaji. Realizing the uniqueness of the marvelous fragrance emanating from the wood, island locals presented it as a gift to the Empress Suiko. With this gift of precious agarwood began a new era of refinement of — and appreciation for — the enjoyment of fragrance.

In the early 18th century, Rokubei Moritsune Hata began incorporating incense-making techniques he learned as an employee of Kyoto\'s Imperial Palace. He would eventually introduce a new world of scent to an audience beyond the realm of royalty.

Twelve generations later, the Hata family continue to create an amazing array of fragrances. Shoyeido incense is considered the highest quality, most natural incense available on Earth.

Shoyeido\'s blending process is an art form. Highly trained \"masters\" draw upon centuries-old secrets to create masterworks of fragrance. These artisans carefully process the quality, balance, and ratio of every hand-selected natural ingredient. The slightest variation in amount or quality of any component can dramatically influence the outcome. Only the finest raw materials are used. The results are remarkable, subtle scents that beckon us to use all of our senses — what the Japanese call mon-koh, or \"listening to incense.\"

Shoyeido products are not just the preferred incense for most temples in Japan. Our unique blends are the modern natural solution for creating a relaxed atmosphere in the home. Whether as an accompaniment to work, to enliven social settings, to deepen yoga and meditation practices, or simply as bubble bath or spa accompaniment, Shoyeido’s pure incense is a timeless way to enhance atmosphere.
