HOT ! Kōro Set

Preorders take approximately 1 month to ship.

This set highlights the purity and depth of aromatic wood, allowing for a more nuanced appreciation of the scent — similar to enjoying fine wine.

Unlike the more common stick or cone incense, kōro involves the gentle heating of pieces of aromatic wood like sandalwood and agarwood to vaporize their natural fragrances without burning them directly.

About Kōro

Incense is one of the three classical arts of refinement, along with tea ceremony and flower arranging. Kōro provides a traditional method of scenting a space in order to enjoy the purest form of the fragrance released from aromatic woods.

By burying a small piece of charcoal in a pot of ash and placing the woodchips on the warmed ash, the natural resins and oils will release in a controlled and gradual process. This releases their inherent scents more distinctly.

This set can also be used to hold and burn other forms of incense by placing them on or sticking them into the ash.
