Kai Un Koh : Premium Meditation Incense 
Baieido was founded in Sakai City, Japan in 1657.
This ancient Japanese incense formula contains a very dense aloeswood and is highly resinous. Kai Un Koh is made from sandalwood, aloeswood, borneol camphor, clove and other Chinese spices. The sticks are a unique thick square design.

Kai un koh is translated as "Opening the Door to Bring Good Fortune." In the practices of meditation it has long been a goal to open the doorway back to our innate self. Buddhist Sutras refer to this as "knowing the self as it truly is."
