Shoyeido - Mini Child Guardian Incense Burner / Holder
Essential Titbits:
Incense is an indicator of faith, and offering incense to the Buddhas means our faith is deep and strong. To act out our faith, we need to practise the three essentials of Buddhist training and discipline – Ethical Conduct (Sila), Mental Discipline (Samadhi), and Wisdom (Panna).
Offering incense also shows our respect and gratitude. It is a reminder for us to purify our body, speech and mind, and in turn to live our lives for the benefit of all beings. This is the genuine, ultimate meaning of incense offering.

About "Shoyeido":
In the early 18th century, Moriyoshi Rokuzaemon HATA, who headed the Tanba-Sasayama district of the present Kyoto prefecture, created a store called "SASAYA." Rokubei Moritsune HATA, who represented the third generation of the Hata family to be involved in making incense, began incorporating methods of creating incense he learned while working at the Imperial Palace in Kyoto. He applied the court's secret traditions of blending incense that had been previously enjoyed exclusively by royalty. After nearly three hundred years, the Hata family continues the legacy of their innovative ancestors, offering a wide variety of unique, hand-blended incense. Today, Shoyeido is considered the highest quality, most natural incense available in the world.
