About Elemense
Written by a Japanese monk over 600 years ago, “The Ten Virtues of Koh” detailed the benefits and properties of Koh-do, the refined art of incense. Elemense’s incense collection takes its inspiration from this storied tradition with three fragrances designed to cultivate serenity and inner peace through scent. This collection uses Japanese scents traditionally associated with relaxation, such as hinoki, and oakmoss, to cultivate an environment for meditation, prayer, and contemplation.
Materials: Brass
How to Use: Light the tip of the incense and blow out the flame immediately. Keep away from flammable objects.

Agave Incense Holder
$ 48.00
The graceful elegance of koh (the art of Japanese incense) takes the form of an agave plant in the desert in this beautiful brass burner from Tennen. Designed with beauty and functionality in mind, this multipurpose burner is designed to fit all types of incense, including cones, sticks, and spirals.
About Tennen
Founded in 2001 by Ethan Wessel and Sarah Swartz Wessel, Tennen is a multidisciplinary architectural firm based in Phoenix, USA. After becoming dissatisfied with the lack of beautiful, functional incense burners, they created their own, designed to keep the nub of the incense stick from sticking to the holder after burning. From buildings to aromas, their design projects pursue aesthetic simplicity inspired by the culture and design sensibilities of Japan - honesty of materials, minimalism, and the changing seasons.
Materials: Brass
Dimensions: Height: 0.7" Diameter: 1.25"
Care: Use a soft cloth with a liquid brass cleaner as needed. For blackened brass, use soft cloth and paste wax polish as needed. With time and use, your incense burner will develop a beautiful patina. Note: Avoid touching the burner while incense is burning, as the cover may grow hot during and for a short period after.

Binchotan Charcoal - Bundle of 3 Branches with Edo String
$ 34.00
Binchotan charcoal is historically regarded as the highest quality activated charcoal for purifying water and absorbing toxins. Its process of activation carbonizes the structure of the wood, leaving countless microscopic cavities that easily trap unwanted toxins. Its porous nature draws chemicals out of tap water, naturally softening and improving its taste. Beyond purifying water, charcoal can be planted in garden earth to stimulate healthy soil, or added to a hot bath to enhance blood circulation. One gram of Binchotan charcoal has as much surface area as a tennis court. Whether it is used to absorb chemicals in tap water, add a soothing quality to a hot bath, stimulate healthy soil in the garden, or deflect negative ions in your home, Binchotan charcoal is a natural way to improve the quality of your daily life.
