Manufacturing of Baieido Incense ⁽⁰⁾


1. It all starts in the laboratory with the rigorous inspection of raw materials: herbs, Aloe wood, sandalwood, etc.	2. The sandalwood or aloe wood, once the controls have been passed, are crushed and reduced to a fine powder.	3. The different ingredients are added to the fine wood powder depending on the incense produced. More or less Sandalwood or Aloes, herbs, essential oils, etc.	4. The dry mixture is then passed through a tight sieve to remove impurities.

5. The powder obtained is then mixed with water and worked until a paste with a consistency close to clay called "tama" is obtained.	6. This mass is then introduced into a container and extruded through a die pierced with small holes (process identical to the manufacture of spaghetti, etc.)	7. Coming out of the machine, these "spaghetti" are delicately spread out on a wooden board and very carefully aligned. Very important phase for obtaining very straight sticks once dry.	8. Once properly aligned, the incense is cut into different lengths depending on the type of incense and its end use.

9. The aligned and cut incense sticks are left on their wooden plank and put to dry. Drying takes several days in summer and up to 10 days in winter.	10. The incense sticks, once dry, are carefully checked by hand and any stick that is not perfectly straight is removed.	11. The sticks are weighed and tied with paper strips to keep them tight.	12. The resulting rolls are inspected a final time and packaged for sale.
