About This Incense

Frankincense is a natural incense material derived from aromatic resin harvested from the Boswellia tree.
It has been treasured for centuries across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, and is widely recognized as a sacred fragrance used in religious and spiritual contexts.

Its characteristic aroma—gently sweet with a subtle sour nuance—has been familiar across cultures since ancient times.

The history of frankincense can be traced back to ancient Egypt, where it was used in rituals and offerings.
It is also deeply connected to Christianity and is recorded in the Bible as one of the gifts presented to Jesus Christ by the Three Wise Men at his birth.

Because of this long cultural and spiritual history, frankincense has come to symbolize purity, prayer, and reverence.

About the Fragrance

This frankincense incense stick is made using only Sudanese frankincense resin tab powder and charcoal powder.
No additional fragrance is added, allowing the true natural aroma of frankincense to be experienced as it burns.

Traditionally, frankincense resin is burned by placing small pieces directly onto hot charcoal.
While this method produces a rich scent, it requires specialized incense burners, careful preparation, and more time than ordinary incense use.

For this reason, Kohgen has created an easy-to-use Japanese incense stick that allows the authentic fragrance of frankincense to be enjoyed with simplicity and safety.
This incense is recommended both for those experiencing frankincense for the first time and for long-time enthusiasts who value its traditional character.

This is a high-quality Japanese incense, made and carefully finished at a factory on Awaji Island, a region renowned for its long history of incense craftsmanship.
