Baieido Incense Sticks, Kobunboku

Kobunboku Japanese Incense

Kobunboku is one of Baieido’s most representative and long‑loved incenses, cherished for its gentle, harmonious character and enduring popularity over many years.

Kobunboku is crafted with a generous selection of natural ingredients, including sandalwood, cinnamon bark (cassia), and borneol. These materials are blended to create a warm, balanced fragrance with a calm sweetness that lingers softly without becoming heavy.

The name “Kobunboku,” a poetic epithet for the plum blossom, originates from an old Chinese tale in which the flower symbolized peace and a love of literature.

Introduced more than a century ago, Kobunboku has long been appreciated throughout Japan and around the world. Its timeless aroma continues to resonate with those who seek a traditional fragrance with a soft, inviting finish.
