It seems the only picture of incense used in the context of an Abrahamic faith is an Orthodox church in India. Incense is widely used in Catholic, Anglican, and some liturgical Protestant churches. If anyone has the rights to a picture like this one, of an Anglican bishop in New Zealand, I think the article would most surely benefit from it: http://www.liturgy.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/P2_Archbishop-Timothy-Dolan11.jpg PenitentWhaler ( talk) 18:45, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
In this section there are sections that could stand some clarifications. Japanese aloeswood is generally separated into area of origin and into categories that deleniate the qualities of sweet, bitter, salty, spicey, sour. Jinko & Kyara are terms used to qualify the proportion of resin in the wood as well as the quality of that resin. Both jinko and kyara are sinking incense and Kyara with the highest quality. Some also diferentiate between a wet or dry scent. The term "oud" is I believe an arabic word and while it may be used in Japan, it is not a Japanese word. Koh-do is "The way of incense / fragrance" and generally refers to a more formal and ceremonial enjoyment of incense wood where the participants sample rare wood, gently warmed to release the fragrance. They then judge the wood and write their impressions of each wood sampled. Koro is the Japanese term for incense burner. 68.107.137.101 ( talk) 03:28, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

In this revision, some text was apparently copied from the Incense in India article. It includes the numbers of the references that were cited in that article, but it does not include the original references. Jarble ( talk) 16:29, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
