Makko Powder - High Grade Premium Incense for Making Cones and Coil Incense DIY Gift (4 Ounce)

Product Information

In Japan incense appreciation folklore includes art, culture, history, and ceremony. Incense burning may occasionally take place within the tea ceremony, just like calligraphy, ikebana, and scroll arrangement. Kōdō ( 香道), the art of incense appreciation, is generally practiced as a separate art form from the tea ceremony, and usually within a tea room of traditional Zen design.

[63] Makko powder is derived from the tabu no ki tree, so it’s vital to be aware of any potential allergies or sensitivities to its components. If you have a history of allergies or sensitivities to tree byproducts, take extra care when handling makko powder. Nowadays, I mostly use incense to cleanse my space or set the mood for meditation or yoga. While it’s easy to find incense at most home stores, I usually prefer to make my own because it lets me harness the power of herbs or match their energetic properties to my intention.
