The literal translation of Mainichikoh from Japanese into English is 'Incense for everyday use'. This sweet and woody aroma of Sandalwood is highly reminiscent of Japan and very popular there - this being one of their best-selling items.
This fragrance recipe developed during Japan's Meiji Era (1868 - 1912) by master Incense blender Yujiro Kito to "nourish the hearts of those who live hard day after day, so that people use it every day”.
The Sandalwood tree is sacred to Buddhists and other Eastern religions. The perfume given off by its aromatic wood has the virtue of relaxing the body and calming down the mind. It induces spirituality and withdrawal. Any occasion is good to use it, but especially helps internal development, study
and meditation.
This item replaces the previous NK107 Mainichikoh Sandalwood box. The stick count has increased from +/- 260 (107g Incense) to +/- 360 (150g of Incense), the packaging artwork has been updated and the box size has been increased. This popular fragrance is also available in a number of alternative stick/length/package options - see below.
Beware unscrupulous sellers selling the older 260 stick box for this price. This new 360 stick box can be identified by the EAN/barcode number (4902125108028), NK product code of 10802 and the new box lid (see photo 7 with ringed changes).
