Landing page captured for the 2026-09-14 issue.

Field notes

The site describes a four-stage process—blending incense materials, forming the column, sculpting the dragon, and drying and checking the finished piece. Its main products are unusually large ceremonial objects, with listed heights from 8 to 24 feet, and the decoration is applied only along parts of the incense body so the material and central incense core remain visible. Custom inquiries ask for the temple site, dimensions, quantity, and intended date.
