From Subtle Bodies, Taiwanese Hinoki Incense: "The Hinoki comes from a dedicated plantation situated in the mountain highlands of Taiwan. A prized wood and national treasure, celebrated both as a construction material and for its beneficial health properties. It has a fresh, yet deep woody scent which is familiar and clean - perfect for instilling a sense of calm and relaxation." 25 sticks for $35 at Luckyscent.
From Nippon Kodo, a Year of the Snake gift set: "...includes 6 sticks of precious aloeswood incense and a lovely ceramic holder, made by the “224 Porcelain” workshop of Hizen Yoshida in Ureshino, Saga prefecture. It has been produced following Arita Yaki ceramic techniques which are more than 400 years old", €24 at Tierra Zen in Spain.
A little something to brighten the depths of winter? Low smoke incense from Oddly Specific in Garden Party: "Garden fruit after the rain. Refresh your senses with the invigorating power of sweet floral and warm garden air." $32 for 50 sticks at Beautyhabit.
With sincere apologies to those of you who are sick of the whole subject, yet another Astier de Villatte kitty incense holder, this one much simpler and cheaper (albeit still no bargain). The Minou Cat Incense Holder in glazed terracotta is $145 at Santa Fe Dry Goods.
Just in case you failed to recognize yesterday's Soleil incense holder from L'Objet as the bargain it is, here's the Oiseau Incense Burner from Astier de Villatte, in glazed terracotta, $600 at Aedes. It would go nicely with their bird incense box. If that's too rich for your blood there's always the Encensoir Chat Setsuko (kitty! want!), currently in stock at Luckyscent for $385.
