Japanese Jinkou Agarwood Kneaded Incense Neri-Koh Mukasa-no-Takimono Kurobou Kyukyodo 8 g
Description
Kneaded incense, known as Neri-Koh, is categorized as the heating incense, and it dates back over a thousand years ago during the Heian period in Japan.
Neri-Koh is made from kneading mixtures of fragrant powdered raw materials with honey or the dried flesh of the Japanese plum, often in precise proportions, and aged for years to maturity. The result is moist and a well-blended/amalgamated fragrance when Neri-Koh is heated.
Kyukyodo is located in Kyoto, Japan, and has over 350 years of history.
In 1877 (Meiji period), Kyukyodo exclusively received the secret formulas passed down within the confines of the palace since the Heian Period, from prince Sanjo Sanetomi.
Those secret formulas are known as 'Mukasa-no-Takimono,' the Six Kneaded Incenses.
The Mukasa no Takimono, a famous set of six kneaded incense categories, dates back to the Heian Period, with each group related to the seasons, and striving to create a particular impression or imagery.
The Six categories of the Takimono are :
Baika (Plum Blossoms) – Spring, the touch of plum blossoms
Kayou (Lotus leaf) – Summer, the fragrance of lotus flowers
Kikka (Chrysanthemum) – Autumn, the scent of dewdrops
Rakuyou (Fallen Leaves) – Late Autumn to Winter, the expansive feeling of walking in an ancient cypress forest
Jijyu (Chamberlain) – Winter, creating a fragrance of variations with a familiar sensation
Kurobou (Black Place/Dimension) – Winter or All seasons, a feeling of closeness, warmth, nostalgia. A celebratory incense
This incense, Kurobou, is a unique blend of natural, high-quality Jinkou agarwood and other precious fragrant ingredients.
