Kungyokudo Incense - Sagano Bamboo

Japanese incense has been used to purify, cleanse, and unwind for other a thousand years. During this time it has come to be seen as one of the highest quality incense varieties in the world.

In 1594, Riemon Ouno opened Kungyokudo directly across from the Hongwanji Temple in Kyoto to provide incense and medicine to the monks of the Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji-ha Buddhist school. The incense house is currently led by his 22nd-generation descendant, Kazuo Ouno, and his wife, Chihaya Ouno.

Kungyokudo is the oldest incense producer in Japan.

Sagano Bamboo - A walking path in Sagano, where a small shrine stands quietly surrounded by a small shibagaki fence. The calm and refreshing scent of the wind passing through the pale blue tunnel created by the bamboo forest that covers the sky.
