Kyoto Incense Sticks: Matsu

Incense sticks from one of Kyoto’s finest incense makers.

This incense is imbued with the fragrance of pine, or matsu. The woody perfume makes you feel like you are wandering through a Japanese forest.

The matsu is an auspicious tree in Japanese culture and is said to represent long life, prosperity and strength. Burn this incense for a change of pace or to relax.

These incense sticks come packaged in a tin with a retro Japanese design, reminiscent of Showa matchboxes. Comes with a small incense holder too.
