Incense Seoye Ink

If you’re not already incense-inclined, we’ll let Sid tee up the concept: “It adds another dimension for your surroundings… for me, there’s no situation where a little incense doesn’t make everything better. Anything catalyzed by fire is already off to a good start.” Are you sold yet? This set of 50 sticks of incense is made in Japan and comes in a wooden box covered in traditional Hanji-style textured paper. The scent is inspired by Seoye, the art of Korean calligraphy, which uses ink made from pine soot and herbs. Binu Binu calls it “reminiscent of a forest in winter” and recommends burning it as a start to any creative pursuit.
