incense kanji question
 
Hi, I have this box of incense I love to burn and I'm beginning to run out and I have no idea what variety they are.

The kanji I know are no help in figuring this one out. Sorry for the for the poor photo quality - I'm hoping its obviously printed somewhere....

Unfortunately, none of the three pics tell what variety yours is.
I can assure you that you've got the very finest of all Japanese incense, though, as this company has been in existence over 300 years (established in 1705).

Let me give you the link to the company's U.S. website. It might help you answer your own question.

Whoooa. I've also been looking for this kind of incense for about.. 3 years now. I originally bought it at the Kinkakuji temple in Kyoto in June of 2006. They had a ton of it there, and I'm lucky I had the sense to get at least one. Sadly I didn't know how great it was at the time... I would have bought more.

Anyway, I hope this helps. Kinkakuji is the only place I've ever seen it.
