The Silk Road became the vehicle of Buddhist missionaries and the means of introducing Buddhism into China. It was these Buddhist monks that introduced incense into China, and with it created another commodity to be traded along the route — incense ingredients. Syukohkoku contains a very high grade and content of fine aloeswood. Recommended to provide motivation and devotion to meditation. 50 grams, approximately 150 sticks.
