HUANG KUN

Chinese Incense God

Also known as Huang K'un

The perfumed deity

He is patron of the incense-makers, a very important profession considering how much Chinese deities love having incense wafted all over them. They just can’t get enough of the stuff.

Huang Kun was the first God to think of burning perfumed oil and wood. This habit incenses those that can’t stand the smell of joss sticks.
