They say: Kobunboku is an expression of the Plum Tree. The flower is well known as 'The flower of peace' from ancient China. Kobunboku is a wonderful mixture of sandalwood & herbs, especially good for meditation and relaxation.

About sandalwood: An evergreen tree of the Santalaceae family found predominantly in India. Within India, the area by the southwest coast known as the Mysore region is referred to as Sandalwood City, and this is regulated by the Indian government. It is extremely famous for its production of superior quality Sandalwood as well as its high price. The heartwood of the Sandalwood tree has been valued from ancient times for carving Buddhist statues and ritual objects. Its aroma is proclaimed of in ancient works as; 'pure, powerful, emanating tranquility, when burnt it is superior to other incense aromas.'

"We sell two sizes of Original Kobunboku. The other size we do is the small box with 30 sticks, which is a bit of a trial version. This size is for those already converted (of which there are many). We often burn Original Kobunboku incense in the office.

This is the review I wrote for the smaller sized version (same incense):
In the packet these sticks smell exotic, sweet and a little bit spicy. Once lit the aroma is beautifully delicate and the smoke can be seen when burning but it is very light. This incense is great for those who would love to burn incense if it wasn't so smokey! This is the first incense many people think of when they think of Baieido as it is one of their best selling products. It is renowned for its use while meditating.

When we first received this incense I burnt one stick in my office and when I came in the next day the smell was still gently lingering. It wasn't a smokey smell at all. It was a gentle sweet, slightly spicy aroma that was really welcoming and relaxing. Personally I now love the Japanese incense from Baieido for burning around the house or office and for when meditating. This is a premium sandalwood and herb incense." - Brett
