fragrance that breathes
Fragrance is an lingering presence in the air.
These washi incenses were created in collaboration with a perfumer
at a long-established incense shop on Awaji Island, with over 130 years of history.
Designed not only for the beauty of the smoke
but also to purify the air after it dissipates.
Unlike stick incense,
washi itself is burned to release its fragrance.
Morning, noon, and night.
Three fragrances to accompany the flow of your day.
All are based on sandalwood
and blended to gently transition with time.
Sumi｜Morning
A fragrance like soft light and clear air.
Sandalwood, Clary Sage, Green Herbs
Ritsu｜Day
Quiet concentration. A fragrance that straightens your posture.
Sandalwood, Lemongrass
Jaku｜Night
A deep, lingering fragrance like the shadow of night.
Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Amber, Vetiver, Moss, Leather
Each box contains two sheets of 15-piece washi incense.
Burn time is approximately 5-7 minutes.
A clip for holding the washi incense is included.
By burning two or three types together,
the fragrances gently layer, adding depth to the lingering scent.
Invisible yet
remaining in the air.
Fragrance brings scenes to mind in unexpected moments.
The presence of mountains, the coldness of water.
The softness of flowers, the vastness of the sea.
In the midst of bustling daily life,
taking just a moment to pause.
Untying the string,
taking out a sheet of washi,
lighting the flame.
The slowly burning washi and
the evolving fragrance.
A time to simply feel, without thinking.
The flexibility unique to washi allows it to be carried
without breaking.
Enjoying the fragrance while traveling,
gently tucking it into a book,
or quietly adding fragrance to everyday life.
Enveloped in the softness of washi
and a gentle fragrance.
Through the sense of smell,
the sense that touches memory most deeply,
bring quiet space to your daily life.
