Incense - A gift from the tropical rainforest

Many of the raw materials used in incense come from plants that grow in Southeast Asia.

Since ancient times, the Japanese have transformed tropical plants brought from across the sea into incense and cultivated it as part of their daily lives.

What are the shapes of the raw materials, how are they processed to make incense, and what types of incense are there?

We will also introduce the actual items and videos.
