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.

Uzumaki incense, which translates to ‘swirl,’ has a slow burn time of 35-40 minutes, offering you a longer-lasting option. The Uzumaki shape can be commonly seen as "katorisenko" which are incense used as bug repellent. Since most incense on the market are stick- or cone-shaped, we wanted to bring you these unusual mini-swirls. Pair the Uzumaki Incense with our Incense Accessories Collection.

Kunjudo

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.
