Overview

Not a bamboo-core bundle, this Nippon Kodo Kayuragi box holds sandalwood incense sticks in kimono-inspired packaging. A mini ceramic holder is included, and the sticks are sold for meditation, reading and bathing.

A holder in the box makes it ready to burn, and the no-core design is aimed at a clean scent with less smoke. The wellness claims for relaxation and stress relief are marketing, and the box holds only one scent.

Who it's for

Someone who lights incense for meditation, reading or bathing and wants a mild sandalwood scent with little smoke. People sensitive to smoke or fragrance should think twice about burning incense indoors.
