Kousaido HANGA Incense - Kouryu

🐉 Auspicious Aura Guarding the Soul: A Serene and Amuletic Incense Woven from Oriental Spices and Sandalwood In Eastern culture, "Kouryu" (Red Dragon) is a mythical beast symbolizing "auspiciousness, power, nobility, and protection." It soars amidst propitious clouds, dispelling all chaos and misfortune with its immense righteous energy. This HANGA woodblock print series – Kouryu – from Kyoto's renowned incense shop Kousaido transforms this solemn, warm, and sacred protective power into a wisp of lingering smoke, building a secure defense for your space and soul. This is an incense stick with a very grand and immersive "Oriental Woody" formula. Once lit, warm and slightly spicy oriental spices immediately diffuse, followed by the rich, mellow classic sandalwood in the middle and base notes. It exudes a profound sense of stability, smelling very ancient, elegant, and inherently righteous, instantly calming restlessness and allowing thoughts and the energetic field of the space to return to their most peaceful order. 🪵 Fragrance Notes This deep and grand fragrance has layers as steady and lingering as the evening bells of an ancient temple: Top Notes: Warm and subtly spicy Oriental Spices instantly awaken the senses, dispelling dullness and gloom from the space.
