Conclusion: I've not yet explored much Japanese incense, but what I have experienced hasn't encouraged me to explore further. I find Japanese incense to be quite dry and sombre, and with such a mild scent that it is easily overlooked. So far I've only tried the more reasonably priced incense, and even that I find expensive compared to incense from other countries. The packaging, though, is very attractive.
