Japanese incense is regarded as some of the finest in the world, and Morning Star is established as one of the best known and most popular ranges. Created in the 1960s, it has become a favourite everyday incense for people in Japan and internationally, made by Nippon Kodo, an incense maker with a history spanning more than 400 years.
Morning Star is handmade with the aim of calming the mind and easing the body into relaxation. It has no bamboo core, so it produces very little smoke and no wood odour, just a pure, light and gentle fragrance. Each packet contains 50 sticks with an approximate burn time of 25 to 30 minutes per stick, along with a mini ceramic holder.
An elegant, enveloping fragrance with a clean, refined character. Musk suits reading, quiet evenings or daily rituals when you want the room to feel composed and gently scented.
A warm, spicy-sweet fragrance with real depth. Myrrh is traditionally associated with meditation and spiritual practice, and suits reflection or bringing a sense of calm to your space.
Safety: Always burn incense on a heatproof surface, away from children, pets and flammable materials. Never leave burning incense unattended.

Herbs, resins, aromatic woods and ritual incense can be used in different ways. Always follow the instructions provided in the individual product listing and only burn products where burning is an intended use.
When burning herbs, incense or aromatic woods, use in a well-ventilated area with good airflow. Always use an appropriate heat-resistant vessel and place it on a stable surface away from curtains, paper and other flammable materials. Where significant heat is generated, particularly when using charcoal, protect the surface underneath with an insulating trivet or tile.
Burning materials, charcoal, ash and incense vessels can become extremely hot. Never touch or move hot charcoal or equipment with bare hands. Use suitable tongs or tools where required.
Never leave burning or smouldering herbs, incense, wood or charcoal unattended. Keep all products and burning materials away from children and pets.
Allow herbs, incense, charcoal, ash and equipment to cool completely before handling, cleaning or disposal. Ensure smudge sticks, aromatic woods and other smouldering materials are fully extinguished before storing.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise on the individual product listing, products in this collection are intended for ritual, aromatic or incense use only and are not intended for ingestion.
