In Japan incense appreciation [[folklore]] includes art, culture, history, and ceremony. Incense burning may occasionally take place within the [[tea ceremony]], just like [[calligraphy]], [[ikebana]], and [[kakemono|scroll]] arrangement. {{nihongo||香道|Kōdō}}, the art of incense appreciation, is generally practiced as a separate art form from the tea ceremony, and usually within a tea room of traditional Zen design.

{{nihongo|Agarwood|沈香|jinkō}} and {{nihongo|sandalwood|白檀|byakudan}} are the two most important ingredients in Japanese incense. The characters in agarwood mean "incense that sinks in water" due to the weight of the resin in the wood. Sandalwood is used in the [[Japanese tea ceremony]]. The most valued sandalwood comes from [[Mysore]] in the state of [[Karnataka]] in India.{{cn|date=August 2019}}

Japanese incense companies divide agarwood into six categories depending on its properties and the region from which it is obtained.{{cn|date=August 2019}} {{Nihongo||伽羅|Kyara}}, a type of agarwood, is currently worth more than its weight in gold.{{cn|date=August 2019}}{{when|date=August 2019}}
