The company has continued to thrive ever since, now accounting for more than 50% of the entire incense industry in Japan. The company have a great philosophy about the importance of celebrating incense and recognise that, although many people simply love the ability of incense to fragrance a room, for others, their use comes down to spiritual and religious traditions. In fact, Nippon Kodo say that, through the production of their traditional Japanese incense they aim to, ‘cherish the ancient traditions and values’. The ingredients of Nippon Kodo incense are all high quality and are sourced from around the world.

Once acquired, the ingredients are processed by hand, and by machine, in their eight factories in Japan and Hong Kong.More About Japanese IncenseJapanese incense (speaking in general terms) is refined, pure, light smoke and rich in natural ingredients such as sandalwood.
