Incienso
During the 30 minutes while the incense burns, enjoy the transition of fragrance as it delicately unfolds. The base note lasts for the whole duration. Another note rises then fades quickly. Each note is unique, yet the collection of notes blends harmoniously.
Durante los 30 minutos que quema el incienso, disfruta como la fragancia que se despliega y transforma delicadamente. La nota de base está presente todo el rato. Otras notas aparecen para desvanecerse rápidamente. Cada nota es diferente y aun así la mezcla es armoniosa.
El incienso elemense está disponible en cinco fragancias que representan los cinco elementos: Tierra, Fuego, Madera, Metal y Agua. Estos elementos son los componentes de todas las cosas según la antigua filosofía china de “Los cinco elementos”. Cada fragancia se ha inspirado en los beneficios citados en “Las Diez Virtudes del Incienso “ (Shang Ju De) un antiguo poema chino popularizado en Japón por el maestro Zen del s. XVI Ikkyu Sojun.
The fragrance takes on a visible form
When you observe the smoke as it rises and floats into the air, you start to see it create a form. “Creating a visible form” with the fragrance was what we strived to accomplish with elemense. We hope that the invisible fragrance of our incense will inspire you to imagine a beautiful scene.
The “Ten Virtues of Koh”
Incense has ten benefits. That is the learning from the “Ten Virtues of Koh,” which was introduced to Japan during the Muromachi Period. The ten benefits, each described with four kanji characters, are originally stated in an ancient Chinese verse. These benefits still resonate with us today. We want you to experience our finest selection of fragrances from the rising smoke.
Tools to admire
The tools play a big role in enjoying incense. What you experience from burning incense is the delicate fragrance of the smoke, the upright stance of the incense and the line left by the falling ash. Let us introduce you to the tools in the elemense incense line that complement the ensemble of linear line and fluid shapes. Starting with our “Acorn brass incense holder.”
