Yamataikoku Incense Stick Set – Japanese fragrance culture in a noble wooden box

Yamatai – The mystical incense of Queen Himiko (Yamataikoku)

A fragrant journey to ancient Japan, this exquisite Japanese incense set pays homage to the enigmatic Yamatai-Koku (邪馬台国) and its legendary ruler Queen Himiko.
Inspired by the mystical aura of this era, the set combines three of the finest fragrance worlds that have been cherished in Japan since ancient times.
An invitation to explore “secrets of history” through the sense of smell – ideal for meditation, rituals or an atmosphere of timeless elegance.

⛩️ The three historical fragrances

Based on ingredients that have been revered in Japan for centuries, each variety unfolds its own character:

• Jinkō / Agarwood (沈香) – The Deep
  Character: Deep, complex and resinous with spicy-earthy nuances.
  Background: Jinkō is considered one of the finest incense woods and has traditionally been used in solemn ceremonies – a fragrance full of dignity and inner recollection.
  Atmosphere: Calming, grounding, contemplative.
• Fuji / Wisteria (藤) – The Elegance
  Character: Gentle, sweetly floral and finely powdery – inspired by the hanging purple flower clusters of the Wisteria.
  Background: In Japanese culture, wisteria often stands for grace and the beauty of the ephemeral – a poetic note reminiscent of the legends surrounding Himiko.
  Atmosphere: Harmonious, soft, mood-lifting.
• Byakudan / Sandalwood (白檀) – The Tradition
  Character: Warm, creamy-woody and balancing – a classic fragrance of Japanese smoking culture.
  Background: Sandalwood has been a foundation of Buddhist incense traditions for centuries and is prized for clear, calm spaces.
  Atmosphere: Clarifying, relaxing, centering.
