Description

Kyara Kongo Selected Aloeswood - 150 sticks, 5.5 inches long. Each stick burns for approximately 30 minutes.

Aloeswood, rare and precious, was first used around 800 A.D. in the Imperial Court of Japan. Samurai scented their armor with its smoke before going into battle. Lord buddha is reputed to have said that the smell of Aloeswood burning "is the scent of Nirvana."

"Jinko", or Jin-koh, is the Japanese name for Aloeswood. It means simply "wood that is heavier than water" due to the weight of the precious resin within the Aloeswood. Also known as Agarwood, Lign Aloes, Eagle wood, Jinko or Oud, Aloeswood is one of the most rare and precious woods on the planet, prized for its rich and wonderful fragrance. Aloeswood has also been used in nearly every religious tradition around the world and revered for thousands of years by many cultures as the most treasured incense ingredient.

An unusual natural process creates Jin-koh. Resinous wood, which comes in many different grades, has lain buried undisturbed for hundreds of years in tropical rain forests. Centuries are required to give us this treasure.
