KOU NO TABI | Washi Incense
zen no ma｜kou no tabi
fragrance that breathes
Fragrance is a formless memory.
Washi paper incense, a new form of incense,
made by an established incense manufacturer
with over 130 years of history on Awaji Island.
Unlike stick incense,
you burn the washi paper itself and enjoy the fragrance.
Morning, Noon, Night.
Three fragrances that accompany the flow of your day.
All are based on sandalwood.
Sumi｜Morning
A fragrance like soft light and clear air.
Sandalwood, Clary Sage, Green Herbs
Ritsu｜Noon
Quiet concentration.
A fragrance that gently straightens your posture.
Sandalwood, Lemongrass
Jaku｜Night
A deep, lingering fragrance like the shadows of the night.
Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Amber, Vetiver,
Moss, Leather
Each box contains two sheets of washi paper incense, with 15 pieces per sheet.
Burning time is approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
A clip for holding the washi paper incense is included.
By burning two or three types together,
the fragrances quietly layer,
allowing you to enjoy the overlapping aftertastes.
Though invisible to the eye,
they evoke feelings and scenes.
The air of the mountains, the coolness of water.
The softness of flowers, the vastness of the sea.
Everything is recalled with scent
in a fleeting moment.
In our hectic daily lives,
the flow of time
seems to be speeding up little by little.
That is why it's important to pause, even for a moment.
Untie the string,
take out a piece of washi paper,
and light it.
The slowly burning washi paper
and rising smoke.
The shifting fragrance.
A time to feel without thinking.
Thanks to the unique flexibility of washi paper,
it can be carried without breaking.
Unfold a fragrance while traveling,
gently tuck it into a book,
slip it into a business card,
or into an inner pocket of your clothes.
You can quietly add fragrance
to your daily life.
Enveloped in the softness of washi paper
and a gentle fragrance.
Through the "sense of smell," which, among the five senses,
touches the heart most deeply,
gently create space in your daily life.
