About the Maker: Kousaido Incense
Kousaido is a Kyoto-based incense maker that has been crafting refined fragrances since 1994. Blending traditional techniques with modern creativity, Kousaido offers a wide range of incense—from time-honored scents to contemporary interpretations—each designed to evoke the timeless spirit of Kyoto.
At the heart of Kousaido’s philosophy is the belief that incense can enrich our lives with colour and presence. Many of their blends feature sandalwood as a grounding base note, thoughtfully combined with woods, herbs, and flowers to create harmonious scent experiences. Whether subtly transforming the atmosphere of a room or inviting us inward, Kousaido’s incense encourages a deeper connection to the present moment and to ourselves.
