Made in KyotoSince 1705Low SmokePublished Ingredients

Sweet, lifted, classic Japanese plum blossom. Blended in Kyoto by Shoyeido.

Plum Blossoms Baika-ju Incense comes from Shoyeido, the Kyoto incense house blending since 1705. Twelve generations of the Hata family, one continuous craft. We carry Shoyeido because they publish the ingredient list for every blend they make — the same verification standard we apply to everything else on the shelf.

Baika-ju — literally “plum blossom” in Japanese — is one of the most culturally anchored florals in Shoyeido's catalog. The scent is sweet without being heavy, lifted without being thin, and instantly familiar to anyone who has visited a Japanese tea ceremony or a temple in early spring. Adjacent in the catalog to Cherry Blossom (the other iconic spring floral).

Who it’s for

🧘

The Daily Ritualist

Light at the start or end of the day. A 20-30 min anchor for meditation, journaling, or wind-down.

📚

Quiet-Smoke Households

Apartments, small rooms, sensitive household members. Shoyeido’s low-smoke construction was made for this.

🎁

Thoughtful Gifters

Birthday, holiday, housewarming. The Kyoto-1705 story tells itself once they open the box.

🇯🇵

Japanese-Craft Curious

You’ve heard premium Japanese incense is a step up from mass-market — this is the easiest way to find out.

Benefits

🌿

Specified Scent Character

What it smells like

Sweet, lifted, classic Japanese plum blossom. Recognisable from the first stick — not a generic perfume.

Charcoal-Free Construction

Why it burns clean

Self-combusting wood and resin — no charcoal stick at the core. That’s why the smoke level is low and the scent stays clean instead of going campfire-heavy.

📜

Published Ingredients

Verification, not vibes

Most incense brands don’t publish what’s in the stick. Shoyeido does — for every blend they make. Sampson stocks Shoyeido for that exact reason.

🏯

300 Years of House Craft

Kyoto, 1705

Twelve generations of the Hata family in Kyoto. Recipes are stable across batches and sticks burn at a consistent rate — meditators who time their practice by burn duration notice this immediately.

🕯️

Made for the Moment

Use occasion

Early-spring ritual, tea ceremony, gifting, sweet-floral lovers.

How to Use

01

Set Up the Holder

Place the stick in a stable holder on a heat-resistant surface, away from curtains or paper.

02

Light the Tip

Hold a flame to the tip until it catches (5–10 seconds), then blow it out. The ember should glow steadily.

03

Let It Settle

Burn time is 20-25 minutes. The first minute is sharpest; the scent rounds out as the ember stabilises.

04

Finish & Air Out

Ash collects in the holder. Let it cool fully before emptying. Brief cross-ventilation clears any residual smoke without losing the scent that’s already settled.

“Birds are particularly sensitive to combustion smoke — keep them in a separate, well-ventilated room while incense is lit. Same for newborns and anyone with respiratory sensitivity.”

Ingredients

🌲

Aromatic Woods

The Body

Sandalwood, cedar, and traditional Japanese aromatic woods form the self-combusting body of the stick. Ground fine and bound with natural plant gum — no charcoal, no synthetic binder.

🪴

Natural Resins & Essential Oils

The Scent

Benzoin, frankincense, and blend-specific essential oils carry the actual scent. Each Shoyeido blend lists its full ingredient set on the maker’s official catalog — verifiable, not vague.

🍃

Plant Gum Binder

Holds the Stick

A small amount of natural plant gum (often tabu powder, from a Japanese laurel) holds the wood-and-resin powder into stick form. Burns clean with the rest of the composition.

Full Ingredients

Full per-blend ingredient list published by Shoyeido for every product. See shoyeido.com for the complete declaration for this specific blend.

Never leave burning incense unattended. Keep out of reach of children and pets while lit. Sampson’s 30-day money-back guarantee applies.

Sponge Holder
Size: 7.125 x 2.875, Color: Black, Size: 7.125 x 2.875, Color: Black
This sponge holder is a simple upgrade that makes a big difference in keeping the sink area clean and organized. The suction cup holds firmly to the side of the sink, so it doesn’t slide around or fall off like cheaper options. It easily fits both a sponge and a steel scrubber, keeping them elevated and allowing them to dry quickly, which helps prevent odors and bacteria buildup. The open wire design is especially useful because it allows water to drain instead of pooling at the bottom. Installation is quick and requires no tools—just press it onto a clean surface and you’re good to go. It also keeps the countertop clutter-free, which is a nice bonus. Overall, it’s durable, functional, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Great value for anyone looking to keep their kitchen sink area tidy and hygienic.

Nice if the suction cups wouldn't have been deformed
Size: 7.125 x 2.875, Color: Brushed Metal
Update: The one I received had two suction cups deformed and wouldn't stick to the side of the sink. Realized this after placing it. Unreturnable. Perfect size. A little wider than the rest. Replacing my last one that didn't rust for years. It was fine except the hard water made the suction cups not stick otherwise it was lasting for years.

Needs modification to work correctly.
Size: 7.125 x 2.875, Color: Brushed Metal, Size: 7.125 x 2.875, Color: Brushed Metal
It is okay, but the brushes fall through the holes' making them hard to retrieve. The only way to get them out of the holder is to pull up on the bristles or push the handle from the bottom. Both don't work well. My solution is simple, just install a "stop" below the holes. My solution is ugly but works. It took me about 15 minutes to modify.
