Japanese Incense Sticks Nippon Koju Oji

Product description Japanese Incense Sticks Nippon Koju Oji

Nippon Koju Oji incense sticks are part of the prestigious KOJU 1575 collection by Nippon Kodo, a line that honors the legacy of Koju, a Japanese master of fragrance who served at the imperial court in the 16th century. The collection is defined by sophisticated scent compositions that draw on traditional aromatic ingredients alongside refined perfume notes.

How does Nippon Koju Oji smell?

Oji is one of the deeper, more woody fragrances in the collection. The cedar notes have a dry, distinctly woody character, amber adds a warm, subtly balsamic quality, and agarwood – also known as oud – brings a richer, resinous layer to the composition. The overall profile is warm, earthy and slightly smoky, with enough depth to fully unfold in a room.

Why choose Nippon Koju incense sticks?

• Deep, woody character – cedar, amber and agarwood (oud)
• Koju 1575 line – a collection inspired by the art of the Japanese fragrance master Koju, whose tradition Nippon Kodo has preserved since the 16th century.
• Designer packaging – the elegant box for the entire collection was designed by French designer Fred Néry, who gave it a distinctive artistic identity.
• Coreless / bamboo-free – the sticks are pressed purely from fragrant material, which means they burn cleaner and produce minimal smoke.
• A Japanese manufacturer with history – Nippon Kodo is one of the longest-established incense manufacturers in the world.

Nippon Kodo – over 400 years of Japanese fragrance tradition

Nippon Kodo is one of the most respected and renowned incense manufacturers in the world. Their story began over 400 years ago, when master perfumers created aromatic compositions for the Japanese imperial court. Deep knowledge of precious woods, herbs, and natural aromatic materials has been passed down from generation to generation, forming the foundation of everything Nippon Kodo creates to this day. Every stick carries a piece of that tradition — precise craftsmanship, finely balanced fragrances, and the distinctly Japanese sensitivity for harmony and detail.
