Plum Tree — An elegant and softly sweet floral aroma
<INCENSE>
This Japanese incense is made from 100% natural ingredients, with bamboo vinegar and bamboo charcoal as its primary materials. By incorporating charcoal into the blend, the incense produces very little smoke, allowing you to enjoy its gentle fragrance comfortably and safely indoors.
Chikuseiko is crafted using only natural elements. Bamboo vinegar, created during the charcoal-making process, and bamboo charcoal are combined with plant-derived natural deodorising agents and fragrances. Free from synthetic additives, it offers a soft, reassuring aroma rooted in nature—subtle, clean, and easy to live with.
Produced on Awaji Island, Japan’s leading incense-making region responsible for nearly 70% of the country’s incense production, this incense reflects generations of traditional craftsmanship. Awaji Island’s strong seasonal winter winds are used to naturally dry the incense, enhancing its fragrance and resulting in a high-quality, well-balanced burn.
In Japan, there is a long-held tradition of “listening to fragrance.” Spending time surrounded by a delicate, natural scent helps calm the mind and bring a sense of quiet balance. This incense invites you to slow down and experience fragrance as part of a mindful daily ritual.
