Landing on the frozen asphalt of the airport, lost between the ocean and snowcapped peaks. From the coldness of the quickly-thawing landscape, there arise fragrant green and woody scents, breaths of wild plants and resins. Contains essences of Star anise, Artemisia, Absinthe, Clary Sage, Virginia Cedar and Patchouli.
The best incense in the world is found on the island of Awaji, due to its favorable climate. For more than a thousand years it has been made here by the Koh-shis or Masters of Aromas, a tradition passed down from father to son. They alone perfectly master the four stages of production: the dosage of exclusively natural materials, precious woods, herbs, plants, vegetable resins, and perfume; the kneading of the dough, pressed and worked for a long time, then left to stand for two weeks to soak up the fragrance; the cutting of the dough, rolled into long, narrow ribbons, to the desired size; then drying in the west wind for three days before bundling the sticks.
Contains 125 incense sticks. Made in Japan.
