Incense has been part of Japanese daily life and culture since ancient times.
It spread throughout Japan along with the arrival of Buddhism, and over the centuries it developed into a culture of enjoying fragrance for its own sake.
Today, incense is used not only to fill a room with fragrance, but also for moments of calm reflection and for times when we think of the people dear to us.
At Kohgen, we hope to share the charm of Japanese incense culture through a life enriched by a single stick of incense.
