FAQ
Q: What does Kobunboku smell like?
A: Kobunboku has a warm, woody, and subtly sweet fragrance built around aloeswood (jinko) and sandalwood, accented with clove. It is earthy and calming — closer to a quiet temple atmosphere than a floral or fruity scent. The fragrance is complex but not overwhelming, making it well suited for everyday use.
Q: Is this suitable for meditation?
A: Yes — Kobunboku is widely used in Zen Buddhist practice and meditation settings throughout Japan. Its grounding wood-based scent is traditionally associated with focused, contemplative states.
Q: Do I need a special incense holder?
A: Yes — you need a horizontal or upright incense stick holder (kohldako or senkodai) that catches the ash as the stick burns. Any standard stick incense holder will work. An ash-catching tray beneath is recommended for convenience.
Q: Is this the genuine Baieido product from Japan?
A: Yes — Tsujimoto Market sources all incense products directly from Japan. You receive the authentic product crafted at Baieido's Osaka workshop, not an imitation.
Q: How long does shipping take?
A: Orders are processed within 2–6 business days and shipped from Japan with full tracking. Delivery time varies by destination.
