Description

From 1603 to 1868, Japan was ruled from Edo, the city we now call Tokyo. Those two and a half centuries of peace produced some of Japan’s most refined craft, from woodblock prints to woven silk. Nishiki is the Japanese word for brocade, the richest of those silks, and Edonishiki takes its name from it.

The two scents are named after Edo ideals. Iki was the word for understated, effortless style; this blend is light and fresh, good for mornings and workspaces. Tsuya means lustre, the soft sheen on polished lacquer; this one is smooth and warm, made for evenings.

Both balance aromatic woods with gentle spice, settling into a room without filling it. With 220 sticks in a box, it is an incense for every day rather than special occasions.
