The Profound Aroma of Aloeswood Crafted by a Ninth-Generation Artisan – The Ultimate in Sakai Incense
For over 300 years, Sakai incense has preserved its tradition of delivering the healing power of aroma. Among our five senses, the sense of smell is uniquely linked to the brain, evoking memories and emotions that enrich our lives. More than just a fragrance, Sakai incense embodies a source of tranquility, bringing peace and vitality to daily life.
Sakai City, known as the birthplace of various crafts, boasts a long-standing heritage in incense production. It was the first in Japan to adopt Southeast Asian aromatic blending techniques and has refined them over centuries. Sakai's artisans have mastered the art of blending diverse scents into their own unique expressions, creating the iconic "sticks of fragrance" that define the essence of incense.
極品 薫翠 (Gokuhin KUNSUI) is the culmination of this artistry, crafted by the ninth-generation master, Jinkoya Kyujirou. This special blend uses Aloeswood, a rare and precious aromatic wood treasured in Japan for centuries. Its deep and complex aroma calms the mind and instills a profound sense of peace. Carefully selected by Kyujirou, this aloeswood blend exudes a refined yet powerful fragrance, transforming ordinary moments into extraordinary ones.
Rooted in the Edo period’s Kyōhō era, Sakai incense upholds its rich heritage while embracing innovation through the principles of “Timeless Tradition” and “Learning from the Past to Shape the Future.” The therapeutic scents of Sakai incense not only calm the spirit but also add an elegant touch to life’s special moments.
