Discover the art of incense blending: choose 2–3 scents to light simultaneously and enjoy how the aroma layers and creates a more complex experience. 

The Takiawase Set uses only 100% natural, high-quality ingredients such as aromatic woods and traditional fragrant materials commonly used in kōdō — The Way of Incense.

Each Takiawase Set comes with five types of incense you can choose to blend. Use your creativity or draw inspiration from our recommended pairings in the details tab.

To fully awaken the essence of a fragrance, you may need to light two sticks of the same scent together, allowing its character to bloom more vividly. Please adjust freely, attuning the experience to your space and your own sensibilities.
