Love potion of the geisha quarter, enchantment of the floating world. The sweet scent of peony has untold charms.
The enchanting peony enjoyed enormous popularity in Edo. Its bewitching form is reminiscent of a beautiful geisha, and gazing upon a peony you can almost hear the music and see the dances of the geisha quarter. This was an exclusive world for the privileged few, and it is said that customers’ time spent in teahouses was measured by sticks of incense. The fragrance of the peony, “queen of the flowers” evokes this beautiful and evanescent world.
Each package contains 60 incense sticks and a small tin incense holder that resembles the stone pavements of Edo. Tin was a favored metal by the upper class during the Edo period.
Paulownia wood box protects the sticks from moisture.
