Makko (ground) from where the bark of the Machilus thunbergii tree is ground and added to incense mixtures as a natural binder for making incense cones and sticks. Makko is cultivated mainly in Southeast Asia: from Kyushu to China, Taiwan, and Thailand. Makko is also used instead of charcoal to burn incense ingredients and mixtures as in the Incense Trail style of incense burning. It does not affect the pure natural scents of the other ingredients. Our Makko is sourced by Baieido Japan.
