Hand-crafted, all-natural incense. It contains no preservatives, coloring, artificial fragrances, or chemical additives.
Takeshi Baba and his wife, Chieko, have been maintaining the traditional method of manufacturing cedar leaf powder from scratch at their 100-year-old watermill, a sustainable and renewable resource. The cedar leaves are collected by Takeshi after logging and forest-thinning and processed at the Watermill. Tabunoki leaves (with a natural sap) are added as an organic binder.
The simple and modest scent of Japanese cedar evokes the fragrances of the countryside. The thin smoke drifts to create an air of serenity. Cedar also has natural insect-repellent properties.
