Incense for Pray -Cherry blossoms

The Difference Between "Senkō" (線香) and "Okō" (お香) – And How You Can Use It

In Japan, both "senkō" (線香) and "okō" (お香) are types of incense, but their usage is often different. Traditionally:

• Okō (お香) refers to incense used to enjoy its fragrance, commonly for relaxation, aromatherapy, or tea ceremonies.

• Senkō (線香) is often associated with Buddhist rituals and is used as an offering for ancestors and loved ones.

That said, senkō and okō are fundamentally the same in composition.
This senkō is made with high-quality natural ingredients, making it perfect not only for prayers but also for personal relaxation, meditation, and air purification. Feel free to enjoy it in your daily life, just as you would with other incense!
