Meiko Shibayama Sandalwood & Herb Incense 50 Sticks

The Perfume of Freedom

This incense has two main notes. One is based on sandalwood and medicinal herbs with a velvety touch of musk that creates a sense of calm. The other note, fully floral, is cherry blossom, the emblematic flower of Japan. The gentle, sweet aroma of Shibayama speaks to the heart. Low smoke incense.

[Mei] Famous [koh] aroma [shiba] grass [yama] mountain. Its aroma is gentle, like memories of our childhood running through the green spring grass. The aromatic sandalwood and floral fragrance evoke a beautiful meadow in a light-filled landscape. An old poem speaks of the elegant tradition of “shiba-kurabe,” an ancient aristocratic poetry contest that extols the beauty of the grass:
“To gaze upon the green meadows of Unahi, where horses run free, comforts my old age.” (‘Shinsen Rokujo Wakashu’ by Fujiwara no Tomoe)
