Incense has marked meaningful moments in Japan for over a thousand years, and every Japanese incense here is made there. Start with Mainichi-Koh, the country’s everyday sandalwood, or Kayuragi, a gentle trio in kimono-inspired boxes. For something rarer, Kyara Kongo is made from kyara, the most prized grade of aloeswood. Nerikoh, a kneaded incense warmed rather than burned, is the scent of the traditional tea gathering. Each one is a small way to mark the change from busy to calm.
