Kousaido

Kousaido is a young workshop based in Kyoto, dedicated to creating fragrances that reflect the charm of this ancient 'city of temples'. The artisans at Kousaido continue the tradition of Japanese incense-making, hand-rolling each stick to create harmonious fragrances that honour both classical formulas and contemporary sensibilities. The workshop maintains the meticulous standards of kōdō, where patience, precision and deep understanding of natural aromatics are essential to creating incense worthy of meditation halls and modern homes alike.
