    Designed to complement your incense ritual, our matches are as considered as the scents they help to ignite. Each box is crafted with a clean, understated design that feels at home on a coffee table or bedside, ready to be reached for in a quiet moment.

    The match sticks catch with ease, creating a steady flame that allows your incense to light smoothly and without fuss. More than practical, they mark the beginning of a ritual.

    Whether kept close to your incense holder, slipped into a drawer, or gifted alongside your favourite fragrance, these matches turn an everyday necessity into something quietly refined.

    Why Japanese Incense?

    Japanese incense is widely regarded as the finest in the world, known for its low-smoke burn, natural ingredients, and subtle, refined fragrance.

    Frequently asked questions

    Learn more about your incense

    • Incense is made from a blend of natural aromatic ingredients - typically woods, resins, herbs, and essential oils that are ground, mixed, and shaped into sticks.

    • You can use incense as often as you like, it really depends on your space and your routine. For most people, one stick a day or a few times a week is ideal. The key is to burn it in a well-ventilated area, allowing the scent to linger naturally without overwhelming the air. Because our incense is made from pure, natural ingredients, it’s gentle enough for regular use, perfect for morning rituals, evening wind-downs, or quiet moments throughout the week.

    • Incense isn’t harmful when it’s made from natural ingredients and burned in moderation with good airflow. The concern comes from synthetic incense, which often contains artificial fragrances, charcoal, and chemical binders that can release irritants when burned.

    • Both create atmosphere in different ways, but it really depends on what’s inside them.

      Most candles on the market are made with synthetic fragrance oils and paraffin wax, which release toxins and soot when burned. It’s something many people aren’t aware of. The glow feels calm, but the air quality often isn’t.

      Our natural Japanese incense burns cleanly and naturally, giving you scent that’s beautiful and better for your space.

      So while both can set a mood, if you care about what you’re breathing, natural incense is the cleaner, more conscious choice.

    • Yes! Japanese incense has a light, refined fragrance that won’t overwhelm small rooms. Just crack a window if you prefer an even softer diffusion.

    • Japanese incense tends to be more refined and gentle compared to Western incense. It’s designed to create a soft, calm atmosphere rather than a heavy, smoky one.
