This value bundle includes the Aloeswood and Peony Oedo-Koh Incense Sets, and a signature Ceramic Dish with Holder. Nippon Kodo's Oedo-Koh Collection is inspired by the Edo period of Japanese history which lasted from the 1600's to the 1800's. This era is famous for 'Iki' an urban culture of 'dandyism' that emerged to celebrate a minimalist approach to life that embraced thoughtfulness. This immaculate incense was created by master incense artisans from modern Tokyo, using fragrance to represent a range of Edo-inspired scenes. Each luxurious box contains a bespoke incense holder and 60 perfume sticks that burn for up to 12 minutes each.

In Edo, there used to be a Hanamachi geisha quarter called Yoshiwara, designed for men. The quarter was home to many beautiful women, and those known as Oiran were particularly idolised for possessing unparalleled beauty, intellect, and talent. Oiran would wear the most gorgeous of costumes and high footwear, and walk the main street accompanied by many servants. The flower reminiscent of an Oiran is the peony, and this incense has the fragrance of this gorgeous and noble flower—like the lingering scent left in the tracks of an Oiran. The aroma of this Peony Tree fragrance is sure to evoke a feeling of elation in you and all those around you.

The fragrance that was most beloved by noble and sophisticated people was Kyara, or Aloeswood. Kyara was popular among court nobles since around the eighth century in Japan. They enjoyed the scent while they wore attire infused with the fragrant smoke. The custom continues to this day among professionals working in the Japanese dance and music industries. Made in Tokyo, this incense was designed to embody a beautiful princess clothed in the scent of Kyara. Discover spiritual luxury with Nippon Kodo's Aloeswood fragrance.

Nippon Kodo's Ceramic Dish with Holder makes the perfect stand for burning stick incense. The ceramic dish is designed to catch the ash the incense leaves behind when burning, and protects your table or bench. This elegant holder is the perfect functional design piece for your home. Made in Tokyo, Japan.

Nippon Kodo

Nippon Kodo’s products have unique fragrances. These fragrances come from tying together closely guarded preparation skills that are more than 400 years old with the sensitivities of modern perfumers. Nippon Kodo inherited their skills through writings on the mixture of aromatic woods by Takai Juemon, an incense preparer who supplied the Emperor of Japan in Japan’s Tensho era (late 16th century). Perfumers with Japan’s best noses and instincts interpret and evolve that tradition to create exquisite fragrances.
