It began as an apothecary serving Nishi Honganji, one of Kyoto's great head temples, and still stands in the very same place today — directly across from the temple on Horikawa-dori. More than four centuries on, Kungyokudo continues to blend incense for both ceremony and everyday life, drawing on recipes handed down through the family and a natural, almost perfumer-like approach to fragrance. The result is a range that feels deeply rooted yet quietly contemporary: rare fragrant woods for moments of stillness, and lighter, more playful scents inspired by the places and seasons of Kyoto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKungyokudo's fragrant wood incense draws on four of the most treasured materials in Japanese incense — kyara, two agarwoods of different origins, and Indian sandalwood. Each comes in a paulownia wood box holding around 20 g of short sticks, and each is made to be savoured slowly, in a quiet room, without distraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRozan Byakudan \/ 老山白檀 — Rozan, \"old mountain\", is the name given to top-grade Indian sandalwood. Fresh and sweet, it's said to feel cooling in summer and warming in winter — the most versatile of the four, and a beautiful everyday luxury.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e◾ Handmade in Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e◾ What's included?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Approx. 20 g of incense sticks in a paulownia wood box\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Stick length: approx. 13.5 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e◾ Size: approx.
