Meiko Shibayama Incense Roll (50 Sticks)

The Meikoh Shibayama incense roll comes as a pack of 50 incense sticks, all rolled up nicely in a roll and packaged in lilac and white Japanese art style paper. 

The low smoke incense sticks are fragranced with the aromas of floral and woody tones. The scent is inspired by the idea of what a spring field smells like when it’s full of colourful, scented spring flowers in full bloom. The base notes are woody and are created by the use of sandalwood, whilst the top notes of mixed florals help create the floral aroma. 

This is a lovely fragrance of incense to burn when you want to evoke the scent of spring into your home or holistic workplace. It’s a comforting scent that soothes the body, mind and spirit.

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.
