Product Overview
After years of trial and error, the Kobe Match Co, the creators of the Hibi
Match, arrived at the perfect mixture of paper fibers, incense and charcoal to
create the perfect strike-on-box incense match. The Harima region of Awaji
island has been producing matches and incense for nearly 150 years and the
island accounts for nearly 70% of the match production in Japan. The westerly
winds through Awaji island create the perfect temperature to dry incense; each
of the fragrances derives from herbs grown by a local incense producer using
traditional methods. Each small palm-sized box allows short aromatherapy
sessions for the busy individual bringing delightful fragrances to anywhere.
Japanese Cypress: birch, black and red pepper, pepperwood, thyme, and citrus
notes. One incense stick has approximately 10 minutes of burning time. The
scent lingers for about 30 minutes or more. Do not strike as if you're
lighting a regular match. Incense matches are delicate. Hold the match close
to the tip and without burning yourself strike in a straight line and wait for
the flame to reach the incense stick. Once it does, blow out the flame and
place it on your mat. If you strike too hard and it breaks or snaps in half,
we recommend you to light it with a lighter (if you're able without burning
yourself), let it burn and reach the incense stick, and place it on the mat.
Take the other ""half"" and push it together. The second half should be able
to light. This is not common and only will occur if you strike the match too
hard. Most users don't have this issue.Made in Japan. Palm-sized box with 8
incense sticks.
