Tokusen Sagano Incense Roll (70 Sticks)

Tokusen Sagano incense roll comes in the form of 70 aromatic incense sticks wrapped up in a roll. 

This incense is named after Sagano, a giant forest of bamboo situated near the city of Kyoto in Japan. The area is known as the, ‘sound forest’, due to the amazing sounds the bamboo trees make as the wind blows through. 

The incense sticks in the roll are made with specially selected ingredients such as agarwood and sandalwood. When the Tokusen Sagano incense sticks are burned, the key aromatic notes you’ll pick up are calming woody sandalwood and hints of the exotic and earthy patchouli. 

Patchouli is often associated with the base chakra, so this could be a good choice of incense to use if you’re working on awakening your chakras.

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.
