Meet the Maker
Kousaido is an incense manufacturer based in Karasuma-dori, Kyoto, a city colored by its eternal history and culture. They are committed to creating fragrances that reflect the charm of Kyoto and that allow folks to treasure those moments when things we casually hold in our hands have a certain elegance. This simple act provides the opportunity for conversation and relaxation.
The culture of incense was brought to Japan with the introduction of Buddhism. They can be used as an offering, to purify an area, enjoy the scent, or during a meditation practice. Incense have been integrated into daily life in various ways over the ages and have been passed down as a unique traditional culture that Japan is proud of.
Kousaido began with the desire to "bring some healing to the daily lives of people living in today's hectic society" and they are proud to deliver spiritual richness through incense.
