Incense has played an important role in Chinese daily life for centuries . It is also used to measure time and medicine as the raw ingredient is mainly from natural herb .
However , the cost of manpower and ingredient had increased dramatically since 1990, and most producers in Taiwan chose to give up traditional way and imported incense from china , using lower quality ingredient and mass production way to manufacture incense .
There are very few craftsman insisting following the tradition and it is a sincere respect to the sacred God . Though it is more time and cost consuming , I still believe there is a market demanding for a higher quality product. Craftsmanship is not just a way of making but a spirit needed to preserved .
