Seiun Violet Sumire Incense Roll (50 Sticks)

Description

Seiun Violet Sumire incense roll comes in the form of 50 incense sticks rolled up in a decorative paper roll. 
The Japanese incense sticks are floral scented with the delicate aroma of violet flowers and are made by Nippon Kodo. In fact, the Seiun range is one of their top brands and is said to provide, “an inspiration to greatness.” This particular incense is made with a higher concentration of charcoal, which means that it burns at a hotter temperature and produces less smoke than other incense. 
The gentle and delicate aroma of violet can be a calming scent – some people find that it’s a good aroma to burn to help promote sleep or reduce stress. 
The blue and purple packaging roll design features a stylised image of a blue cloud (which is a Japanese symbol of a bright future) over Mt. Fuju, the highest mountain in Japan.

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. Experts help locate and harvest the rare aromatic woods, natural gums, resins and other ingredients used to make their incense. 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.
