Seiun Violet Sumire Incense Roll (50 Sticks)

Seiun Violet Sumire incense roll comes in the form of 50 incense sticks rolled up in a decorative paper roll. 

The Japanese incense sticks are floral scented with the delicate aroma of violet flowers and are made by Nippon Kodo. In fact, the Seiun range is one of their top brands and is said to provide, “an inspiration to greatness.” This particular incense is made with a higher concentration of charcoal, which means that it burns at a hotter temperature and produces less smoke than other incense. 

The gentle and delicate aroma of violet can be a calming scent – some people find that it’s a good aroma to burn to help promote sleep or reduce stress. 

The blue and purple packaging roll design features a stylised image of a blue cloud (which is a Japanese symbol of a bright future) over Mt. Fuju, the highest mountain in Japan.

More About Nippon Kodo Incense

In fact, Nippon Kodo say that, through the production of their traditional Japanese incense they aim to, ‘cherish the ancient traditions and values’. The ingredients of Nippon Kodo incense are all high quality and are sourced from around the world. Experts help locate and harvest the rare aromatic woods, natural gums, resins and other ingredients used to make their incense. Once acquired, the ingredients are processed by hand, and by machine, in their eight factories in Japan and Hong Kong.

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.
