A marvelous and delicate earthy aroma exudes from the dense and luxuriant vegetation, with its enormous yakusugi trunks and limpid waterfalls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best incense in the world is found on the island of Awaji, due to its favourable climate. For more than a thousand years it has been made here by the Koh-shis or Masters of Aromas, a tradition passed down from father to son. They alone perfectly master the four stages of production: the dosage of exclusively natural materials, precious woods, herbs, plants, vegetable resins, and perfume; the kneading of the dough, pressed and worked for a long time, then left to stand for two weeks to soak up the fragrance; the cutting of the dough, rolled into long, narrow ribbons, to the desired size; then drying in the west wind for three days before bundling the sticks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBurning time is 30 minutes, though the scent lasts for hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBox of approximately 125 sticks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBox dimensions: 6.0\" H × 2.5\" W × 0.7\" D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight the end of the stick with a match, blow out the flame and leave to smoke.
