Making incense is a time-consuming process and requires human labor involved in every step such as splitting the bamboo into splints, drying them, and then feeding them into machines to shape the sticks before transferring them to dry. In the East, incense is mainly used for the means of communication between the living and the dead and it is often used on the first and the 15th of the lunar calendar and massively demanded during new year period and other spiritual events.
