Shoyeido 松栄堂（しょうえいどう）

Shoyeido（松栄堂） is one of Kyoto’s most respected incense houses, founded in 1705 and rooted in over three centuries of Japanese fragrance tradition.
Rather than pursuing strong or perfumed aromas, Shoyeido is known for its refined balance — soft woods, natural resins, and subtle spices blended to create incense that is calm, elegant, and enduring.

Still family-run today, Shoyeido preserves traditional incense-making methods while maintaining exceptional consistency and quality. Their fragrances are widely used for meditation, tea ceremony, and everyday moments of quiet, valued for being gentle, low-smoke, and never overpowering.

Each stick reflects a philosophy of harmony — fragrance designed not to dominate a space, but to settle into it.
