{"product_id":"minorien-fuin-jinko-agarwood-incense","title":"Fu-in Jinko (Agarwood) Incense","description":"\u003cp\u003eFu-in Jinkō presents the deeper, more resinous character of aloeswood through Minorien's characteristically restrained approach to incense making. Using fragrant jinkō from Thailand and Indonesia, the composition allows the qualities of the wood to remain clearly discernible, giving it greater aromatic depth and persistence than the lighter Byakudan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fragrance begins with dry wood and warm resin before developing an aromatic spiciness reminiscent of cinnamon bark. Herbal and balsamic nuances emerge underneath, gradually giving way to a darker, subtly leathery depth. There is richness throughout, though the fragrance retains clarity rather than becoming dense or overtly perfumed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the incense continues to burn, its resinous character becomes more apparent and the different facets begin to overlap: dry wood, warm spice, balsamic richness and darker aromatic tones. Jinkō also has a lingering quality, leaving an impression of resin, spice and wood in the surrounding air after the immediate fragrance of the burning stick has receded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinorien's interpretation is particularly admired for its transparency. Every stage of the burn allows the natural qualities of the wood to emerge without excessive perfume or artificial sweetness, producing an incense that remains elegant, balanced and remarkably faithful to its source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFu-in Jinkō offers an accessible introduction to the world of aloeswood while retaining the depth and refinement that continue to make it one of Minorien's most celebrated compositions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrance Character\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Character\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eDry, resinous aloeswood with warm aromatic spice.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eDevelopment\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eWarm resin and dry wood develop into cinnamon-like spice, herbal and balsamic nuances, followed by a darker, subtly leathery depth.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eOverall Impression\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eDeep, layered and persistent, with warm spice and a darker woody character.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximate Stick Length: 13.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNet Weight: 15g (Approx. 50 sticks), 45g (Approx. 150 sticks)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximate Burn Time: 30 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout this Incense\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThe Fu-in Series was developed to showcase exceptional aromatic materials with as little distraction as possible.

Its distinctive aroma develops only after Aquilaria trees respond to natural injury by producing a rich aromatic resin, a transformation that can take decades. This rare process gives every piece of aloeswood its own individual character and has been treasured in Japanese incense culture for centuries.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinorien's Fu-in Jinkō uses aloeswood from Thailand and Indonesia, two established regions associated with fragrant agarwood. Natural aloeswood varies according to its origin and the concentration and character of resin within the wood. This inherent variability is part of the material itself, with subtle differences possible between batches rather than the absolute uniformity associated with a synthetic fragrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the Fu-in series, Jinkō occupies a distinct position. It moves beyond the creamy freshness and lighter presence of Byakudan into a more resinous, spiced and persistent expression of fragrant wood, while retaining the clarity for which Minorien is known.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Producer\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eFor generations, the family behind Minorien operated an incense shop in Osaka, serving temples and households with traditional Japanese incense. During the air raids of the Second World War, the family was forced to leave Osaka and relocated to Katata in Shiga Prefecture. It was there that the foundations of the present company were established before eventually settling in nearby Wani, where the business adopted the name Minorien. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Minorien remains an independent manufacturer specialising in incense made from carefully selected natural aromatic materials. Rather than creating fragrances dominated by perfume, its approach is to reveal the inherent character of sandalwood, aloeswood and other fragrant woods through restrained, balanced compositions. The company often likens this philosophy to \u003cem\u003eshōjin ryōri\u003c\/em\u003e, where the role of the maker is to draw out the qualities already present within each ingredient. The result is incense valued by both temples and private collectors for its depth, refinement and authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Minorien","offers":[{"title":"50 Sticks","offer_id":48125925064934,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"150 Sticks","offer_id":48125925097702,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0170\/9420\/files\/Minorien_Fuin_Jinko_Agarwood_Incense_EHGS.jpg?v=1786187160","url":"https:\/\/easternhillgs.com\/ja\/products\/minorien-fuin-jinko-agarwood-incense","provider":"Eastern Hill General Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
