We Got A Question, and You Got An Answer !
Q: Why some of your incense are so expensive ? For example,
#554 on your mail order catalog, a box of 45 sticks costs $37 !
A: That's because this particular item is made of Kyara, a high quality
Aloeswood. It is said that one ounce of the highest quality of Kyara
would be equal an ounce of gold. The best of Aloeswood can be found
in the dense jungles of Vietnam. The item, #554, has one of the highest
quality Kyara. Plus, this is a gift item and it contains a porcelain stand.
The box is made of Paulownia wood, and it is covered by a kimono-sachet fabric.
If you have #554 already, and you are looking for a better deal in refills,
we have it ! Our #539 ($78) has 150 sticks, and each stick is about
2.4 times the size of #554's, so the unit price is almost a quarter of #554's !
Aloeswood, Jinkoh in Japanese, is a prized aromatic wood, and only
mother nature and time can create this.
Q: Your mail order catalog's "Exceptional Quality" section has three
Aloeswood items, actually, one Jinkoh and two Kyaras.
How is the difference ? Just a higher-price is a higher-quality ?
And, May I have a sample of "Exceptional Quality" ?
A: In general, that's right, but that's not the whole story.
For example, if Jinkoh/Kyara was a grape, an incense would be a wine.
And that's why we characterized them into different names.
#552 Jinkoh Juzan/Aloeswood Fortune Mountain
#553 Kyara Kongo/Selected Aloeswood Diamond
#554 Kyara Taikan/Premium Aloeswood Great Perspective
