We're pleased to bring to the Natroma website, some of the new Japanese incense we're stocking in our Stourbridge shop.

Mainichi-Koh Viva is part of the 'incense for every day' range launched by the famous Japanese incense manufacturer, Nippon Kodo in 1912.  it is as popular today as it was then, valued for it's ease of use and affordability.

Mainichi-Koh Viva incense has a fresh and uplifting aroma of sandalwood and pine.  It's a clean aroma reminiscent of the natural world (like when you take a walk in a forest) that's great to use around the home or in the workplace.

Like all Japanese incense this is a premium, very pure product.  There is no bamboo core, just a pure compacted incense stick that is made from natural ingredients.  These are smaller sticks than traditional dipped incense, but do not be worried that they are smaller.  Simply use on your usual stick holder (wood, metal or ceramic it just need a hole in the holder).  Our shop customers are loving the way Japanese incense has a beautiful fragrance, that's long lasting and is released with minimum smoke.  

These Mainichi-Koh Viva incense sticks are supplied wrapped in a roll of paper (they contain approximately 50 sticks) and are available in 2 lengths: 

      short (14cm) - burn time approximately 25-30 minutes

      long (22cm) - burn time approximately 55 minutes

Made in Japan.

Information about Japanese incense

Japanese incense is a refined, pure product that's rich in natural ingredients.  The sticks do not have bamboo cores, so they're pure incense shaped into thin solid sticks.  Japanese incense is considered by many to be the finest in the world, so due to the high quality ingredients and manufacturing process it tends to be a little more expensive than some incenses...but it's worth it!  These Japanese incense sticks burn clean and are much less smoky than Indian stick incenses.  Japanese incense sticks look smaller than wood/bamboo sticks but will last just as long and leave a beautiful refined aroma in the room.
