The hinoki (Japanese cypress) scent is woody and calming, ideal for relaxation & meditation. The scent has a sophisticated association due to the use of hinoki in timeless interiors. The incense is dyed with natural ingredients, resulting in a minimal grey that transitions cleanly into ash.
Our Sen Incense are available in two lengths with varying burn times; depending on your mood or activity, you can choose a suitable length.
The short incense lasts around 12 minutes, which is a perfect time for a quick pause in your day. For activities that take more time, choose the long incense, which lasts around 26 minutes. Both types of incense come with 50 in a box — providing a total burn time of 10 to 21 hours. Pair the Sen Incense with our Incense Accessories Collection.
About the makers
This incense is brought to you in collaboration with the Fukunaga family, a business carrying a legacy of over 120 years. Based on Awaji Island, the region is known for being the original birthplace of incense in Japan.
The history of incense in Japan dates back to an April day in 595 AD, according to The Chronicles of Japan (720 AD) when a piece of aromatic wood drifted to the shores of Awaji Island. With its year-long warm climate and ample sea breeze, the island is an ideal place to dry the incense - a crucial process in its making.Details
