Issh Incense

Adding an appreciation of time to the enjoyment of fragrance, six different scents have been created from scenes of mindfulness in a day. Each box has 30 sticks of 20 minute incense delicately wrapped in waxed paper.

shitaku wo totonoeru (Be Ready)

Prepare to start your day. The serene but spicy scent of Hinoki (Japanese cedar) drifting in a calm morning light wakes you gently.

yohaku wo totonoeru (Stay Mindful)

Experience a clear and tranquil time. With a woody note, the purifying scent of Jasmine cleanses the soul and lingers in the mind.

kokyu wo totonoeru (Regulate Your Breathing)

Breathe deeply and slowly. The refreshing, crisp scent of camphor passes through foliage, like a breeze rustling new green leaves and branches.

yosooi wo totonoeru (Adjust Your Appearance)

Embrace a dignified, noble appearance. The soft, warm scent of sandalwood and sweet aroma of amber mix in harmony to produce a humble-yet-elegant scent.

igokochi wo totonoeru (Get Comfortable)

Experience a peaceful and rich time. Reminiscent of freshly roasted coffee, enjoy the rich bitterness of this aromatic fragrance, which is the scent of twilight.

kyo wo totonoeru (Organize Today's Memory)

Luxuriate in the “Now” before it becomes a memory. This smoky sweetness of layered woody notes guides you to the darkness of a restful night.

The Japanese term “Isshu” refers to the interval of time that it takes an incense stick to burn down to its end.  The incense brand ISSH, made in Japan by a producer with 450 years of experience, is named after “Isshu". Each ISSH stick has a burning time of 20 minutes. This "Isshu" of 20 minutes, out of the 1,440 minutes of the day, is a time to enjoy the fragrance and the experience of the incense stick burning through its allotted time.. and to savor the passage of time itself. 100% made in Japan.
