Procuring the highest quality raw materials, Elemense incense is crafted by hand in Japan using time honoured traditional techniques. Suou Incense cultivates love for others by allowing one to appreciate all the plants and flowers that nature offers. Elemense's concept is based on the teachings from the “Five Elements Theory” of Chinese philosophy - “Ten Virtues of Koh”. The “Five Elements Theory” states that every place, person and object in the universe was made from the five basic elements: wood (Moku); fire (Ka); earth (Do); metal (Kon) and water (Sui). When lit, “elemense” is designed to incite the experience that enlightens all five senses and hints that the invisible fragrance starts to take on a visible form, elemense. The brand name itself is a combination of the words “ “element (要素)" and sense(感覚)." Take a moment to light the incense - allow the fragrance to quietly infuse the air and envelop you. Watch as the ash falls and surrenders to the passing of time. Leaving an imprint in your memory and connecting all five senses to the invisible fragrance.
