Details of the experience

Room Incense – A Fragrant Tradition from the Heian Period
Incense has been cherished in Japanese daily life since the Heian period.
Room incense—similar to modern-day room fragrance—not only purifies the air and repels negative energy, but also creates a calm and relaxing atmosphere in your home.

Choose your favorite scents from 12 to 14 types of natural aromatic ingredients, and blend them to fill your space with a soothing, personalized fragrance.
