Kioka Electric Incense Heater
This elegant and convenient electric incense censer allows you to gently heat kōboku (aromatic woods) and other raw or pressed incense types without the use of charcoal and ash.
The censer has 3 levels of heat, with the ability to further fine tune the heat by raising and lowering the mica plate. This versatility allows you to use low heat to mimic the ceremonial monkō style of intentional incense appreciation, or use high heat to perfume a room, mimicking the soradaki technique. The censer can be operated in battery mode for shorter monkō sessions or for travel

- 1 - Electric Censer with removable cover and base
- 1-2 - large pieces of Byakudan (sandalwood)

Founded in 1772, Yamadamatsu Kōboku-ten (山田松香木店) is one of Japan's most respected incense houses. As their name suggests, they have long specialised in kōboku - the aromatic woods of sandalwood, aloeswood, and kyara which form the heart of Japanese incense culture. Their original recipes lean heavily on the exquisite quality of their raw ingredients and the ingenuity and creativity with which they combine them to form unforgettable aromas.
