Description

The listing, Incense Gift box has ended.

This is a gift box I received from Owajimaya in Seattle, WA. It contains three boxes of incense each with 50 sticks. The frangrances are Amber, Vanilla & Lavender. It also contains a burner and a pamphlet on how to use and enjoy it. These particular frangrances are to promote tranquility and serenity. If you or someone you know could use some, this is for you. In the comments I will give a little more information so check it out when you get the chance. Good luck and thanks for visiting my auction.

The “Ten Virtues of Koh” is a list of the benefits derived from the use of incense. These Ten Virtues have been passed down from the fifteenth century (the Muromach Era) and are still cited today as uniquely capturing the spirit of Koh.

1 ~ It brings communications with the transcendent.
2~ It purifies mind and body.
3~ It removed uncleanliness.
4~ It keeps one alert.
5~ It can be a companion in the midst of solitude.
6~ In the midst of busy affairs, it brings a moment of peace.
7~ When it is plentiful, one never tires of it.
8~ When there is little, still one is satisfied.
9~ Age does not change its efficacy.
10~Used everyday, it does no harm.

How to use Light the tips of the incense stick, cone or coil then blow out the flame to produce the delicate wisp of smoke. Place it in the burner, as shown in the picture. Your room will be quickly filled with beautiful fragrance.

The word “perfume” comes from Old Provincial French perfumar – per “through” and fumar “to smoke”. This explains the art of perfumery, believed to have begun in the Middle East with the burning of incense.
The use of incense dates back to biblical times and may have originated in Egypt, where aromatic trees were imported from Arabia to be used in religious ceremonies.
Ganjin, a Buddhist priest from Tang China, reached Japan in 754 AD. This venerable priest, well known for introducing Buddhist precepts into Japan, should also be remembered for his accomplishment in the history of incense. Through medical incense and the skill of nerikoh (blended incense balls), Ganjin introduced a thriving incense culture from Tang dynasty China into Japan.

Special note: bid on the item as described above. if i choose to send any free gift's along they are just that (((free))) so if you don't like them you cannot request a credit refund, they are free. do not say you were bidding on the free gift's that i could be sending. bid only on the item shown in photo.
