Incense Genji Ukifune

The color of Tachibana's islet is strange 
This floating boat is unknown

The heart pattern of Niōnomiya (pink) and Ukifune (purple)
is entrusted it to each scent.

2 scents, 10 pieces each, with an incense holder

Two kinds of traditional scents of fragrant wood.
Miya (pink) ... A passionate scent that makes you think of a woman
Princess (purple) ... Image of a woman's heart swaying between two men

This incense line is inspired by the first novel in the world: Genji monogatari.

The legendary 'Story of Genji' is one of the cultural milestones in world history. Written by Lady Murasaki in the early 11th century as entertainment for Empress Akiko, this 1,000-year-old masterpiece is a literary record breaker:

the world's first real novel

the first psychological novel

the first historical novel

The story gives a glimpse into Japan 1000 years ago. The Genji line from Shoyeido gives shape to the scenes and beautiful storytelling from Genji Monogatari through subtle scents.
