Baieido Syukohkoku Japanese Aloeswood Incense

Syukohkoku blends Vietnamese and Siam aloeswood with traditional herbs to create a deep, classical, and gently sweet fragrance suitable for both daily enjoyment and ceremonial use.

Baieido’s Long Tradition of Blending

Syukohkoku features the fragrance of Vietnamese aloeswood, created through Baieido’s long‑established blending techniques. With more than 350 years of history, Baieido combines classical ingredients such as clove, cinnamon bark, galangal, star anise, spikenard, and other traditional herbs with woods like sandalwood, aloeswood, and kyara to produce incense that feels deep, classical, and pleasant for everyday use. Their well‑known lines, including Kaiunkoh and the Kobunboku series, are widely appreciated by temples and experienced incense users, and Syukohkoku has also become a popular choice among them.

Position Within the Kobunboku Family

Syukohkoku is especially suited for those who wish to enjoy the gentle sweetness of Siam aloeswood on a daily basis or who seek a high‑quality incense for ceremonial use. Within the Kobunboku family, it is positioned above the Kaden Kobunboku grade, offering an even more refined character.

Aloeswood Characteristics

While Kaden Kobunboku uses Tani aloeswood, Syukohkoku brings forward the sweeter and smoother notes unique to Siam aloeswood. The sharper elements are softened, allowing the sweetness to remain present throughout the burn. The fragrance reveals two notable impressions: the lingering sweetness of Siam aloeswood and a classical, temple‑like depth that reflects the presence of traditional herbal ingredients.

Recommended For

Syukohkoku is highly recommended for those seeking a traditional wood‑based fragrance with a timeless, elegant atmosphere. Please enjoy the rich and gentle character of this exceptional incense.
