Mainichi-Koh - Sandalwood (350 Short Sticks)

Mainichi-koh Sandalwood incense is made in Japan by famous incense makers, Nippon Kodo. Literally translated from the Japanese Mainichi-Koh means 'Incense for everyday use', and that is exactly what it is and what Mainichi-Koh has been in Japan for more than 80 years, where it has enjoyed a wideranging popularity that has appealed to people of all ages recalling unforgettable memories.

Mainichi-koh sandalwood incense is pure and made without a wooden stick centre, so it burns pleasantly and without creating too much smoke. The sandalwood incense aroma is best described as being sweet, fresh and woody.

The scent of sandalwood can be calming and help you unwind, so it could be a good choice of incense to use if you’re keen to relax more or want to create a calming atmosphere in your home.  You may also find that the scent lingers on in a room for a while even after the incense has stopped burning.

In an age when spiritual longings should transcend material aspirations, it is important to nourish those yearnings that emanate in the heart and motivate one to seek that love, friendship, graciousness and happiness that date back to their earliest remembrances. We, at Nippon Kodo, believe that Mainichi-Koh, which was fashioned from a traditional sandalwood formula that was popular in Japan thousands of years ago, realizes these long-sought goals and evokes an aura of graceful elegance and a feeling of deep contentment.

More About Japanese Incense
Japanese incense (speaking in general terms) is refined, pure, light smoke and rich in natural ingredients such as sandalwood. They don't usually have the thin wooden stick centre that is often found in Indian and other incense sticks. They are normally pure incense right the way through the stick. They are often designed with meditation in mind. Due to the high quality manufacturing processes the incense goes through they can be a little bit more expensive than other incense on the market.
