“These Japanese Cypress Incense Sticks are an incredible purchase. Once the fully grown Chamaecyparis obtusa is secured in the residence, the whole family can get in on the action - each taking a turn to hack away at it's base with a rough hewn axe or hatchet (not supplied). From the moment the mighty lumber hits the floor and a flaming torch is applied to its full topknot, the heady fumes of death and rebirth quickly fill the quivering, oft capricious, nostrils of the onlooker. Plus - it covers up a rank whiff quick-sticks.”
