MAINICHI-KOH Kyara Deluxe 300 Sticks by NIPPON KODO, Japanese Quality Incense Since 1575

Q: Can anyone link a burner to use this incense with? This incense gets stuck in my burner and doesn't burn out all the way, so I have to use tweezers.

I do what my Buddhist priest in Japan did: I break the stick (or sticks) in half, light them, and lay them down on a bed of incense ash in a saucer or a shallow flat-bottomed pottery piece. They burn all the way down and add to the ashes. I guess if you've been burning incense, you'd have ash for starters.

Q: Does this smell like the blue box Morning Star Aloeswood? I was devastated when they stopped making it.

No it does not smell quite like the blue box Aloeswood, although here is a link to one that DOES have that smell. http://www.amazon.com/Nippon-Aloeswood-Kayuragi-Incense-sticks/dp/B000KEINJQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1431910415&sr=8-1&keywords=aloeswood+incense

Q: What is the burning time of this incense sticks? I am looking for sticks that burn for aproximately 1 hour. Any recommendations? Thank you!

Hello! This incense burns approximately 30 minutes. If you try a longer stick, such as the Daigen-Koh it burns for approximately 70 minutes.

Q: Is there an ingredient list?

There is not an ingredient list. There is information from the manufacturer about the keynote in the incense- or the main scent. In this case it is Aloeswood, a musky, woody scent. This incense is considered incense for daily use in Japan, and that is the meaning of Mainichi Koh-Daily use incense. The formula for the incense is kept secret, so the ingredient list won't be provided with the incense. The manufacturer is Nippon Kodo and they have been making this incense since 1912.
