Young grass is a symbol of budding life. A thousand years ago, the Heian period's "Tale of Genji" beautifully describes budding young grass as its fragrance emanating from the light. Over the years, "Wakakusa" has become known worldwide as the name of a fine incense. Founded in Kyoto during the Tensho era of the Azuchi-Momoyama culture, Koju was founded by its owner, Juemon, in the Edo period, as a master incense master. He was renowned for presenting incense to the Emperor and for providing incense to tea ceremony masters, of which "Wakakusa" is one. The tradition of the historic incense "Wakakusa" combined with modern techniques to create modern incense, Koju "Kyoto Wakakusa." We offer a selection of matcha and cinnamon fragrances that evoke the elegance of Kyoto.
