Kousaido

We believe in cherishing those moments when the things we casually hold possess a certain elegance, giving rise to conversation and relaxation.

It is our wish to convey the spirit and refinement fostered by the traditions of Kyoto, through fragrance, to the present day.

Kyoto, a city adorned with an age-old history and rich culture. Kosai-do, based in Kyoto, is dedicated to creating fragrances that reflect the elegant charm of the ancient capital.

It all began with a desire to "bring even a little bit of enrichment and healing to daily life" for people living in today's fast-paced modern society.

We deliver a richness of spirit through "fragrance."
The culture of "incense" was introduced to Japan along with the arrival of Buddhism.

Incense has been incorporated into daily life in various ways throughout the ages, not only as offerings to Buddha, but also to purify spaces, enjoy fragrances, induce meditation, and even evoke memories of someone through lingering scents. It has been passed down as a unique and proud Japanese traditional culture.
Often, a sudden whiff of a certain scent can bring back nostalgic memories.

Our incense is made with a luxurious blend of natural fragrances based on sandalwood. It is characterized by a soft fragrance with minimal smoke odor. Listen to the voice of your heart, not just your sense of smell, to find your favorite scent. We hope our incense will help enrich your life.
