Japanese Incense Matches

$ 24.99

Serenity through taking a sniff of the fragrance that gently spreads around. In a series of these gestures, there may lie something that awakens an innate nostalgia hidden inside ourselves.

Hyogo, specifically the Harima region, has been producing domestic matches since the Meiji period, utilizing techniques from Europe. Thanks to its quality and convenient marine transportation facilities, the region became a major contributor to almost 70% of Japan's match production. Similarly, Awaji Island, with its ideal westerly winds for drying incense, developed into the largest incense manufacturer in Japan, responsible for about 70% of domestic production today. Each pack contains eight incense matches and one burning mat for smoking, with a burn time of approximately 10 minutes. Made in Japan.
