All About

Incense Powder Ceremony

We offer an incense powder (篆香, zhuàn xiāng) experience by reservation.
If you're planning to visit Taiwan, feel free to contact us in advance to arrange a session.

Taiwan has a long history of incense use, from religious practices to everyday appreciation, forming a rich cultural tradition.
Incense powder is shaped into various patterns using traditional tools, depending on different purposes.

In this quiet and focused process, you will complete the piece by hand while experiencing the subtle variations of natural wood aromas from different origins.

A simple moment to slow down and enjoy the scent.

We offer natural incense powder products made from ground agarwood and sandalwood. Which type of natural incense powder do you prefer? How do you use them? 
 



In the early days, due to religious customs, users in Taiwan would scoop incense powder with a spoon and place it into incense burners. Large amounts of powder were continually added and burned, producing thick smoke, which gave a strong sense of a thriving temple atmosphere. 
 

  

With the rise of environmental awareness, religious practices and home incense usage have become more environmentally friendly. Users gradually came to realize that incense can be used in smaller amounts, while still enjoying its quality and essence. 
 

We have hosted several incense ceremony experience classes in the past. We still remember the very first one, which was for children. The little ones listened attentively, though only grasping bits and pieces about agarwood and sandalwood, before eagerly working with their hands to make incense trails. It was both fun and engaging. In the begining, our store was smaller, so we couldn’t host classes frequently. Most of the time, we demonstrated one-on-one to visitors.


        

After moving to our new location, the space grew a bit larger, but the area for holding classes is still limited. The most recent class was a visit from sociology students from Fu Jen Catholic University. For young people, their willingness to learn about incense culture, sitting down to listen to traditional customs and cultural insights, left a lasting impression on us.
