The standard incense is the one that you light up. And then there is the more technologically advanced version where you warm the fragrance in oil and diffuse is using some electrical mechanism. But the Tsuki Kokochi Shikunshi Traditional Room Fresheners offers a different approach: a room fragrance that doesn't require a naked flame or electricity. You just take them out of the box and they are good to go!
Made of a mixture of fragrant wood and herbs – just like regular incense – the four pieces in the Tsuki Kokochi Shikunshi Traditional Room Fresheners set refresh your space very gently over a longer period. They are shaped as crescent moons. The Shikunshi part refers to the four fragrances they come in: an elegant and unobtrusive orchid, a fresh and sweet and sour plum, a refined and astringent chrysanthemum, and a refreshing and luxurious bamboo. These are all classic Japanese aromas, giving you a superb introduction to traditional Japanese incense appreciation!
