Experience making incense in Awajishima, Japan's largest incense production
Hyogo Prefecture produces the most incense and incense sticks in Japan. Among them, Awajishima accounts for about 70% of the production volume in Japan.
According to Nihon Shoki, about 1,400 years ago, incense, the raw material of incense, was introduced to Japan for the first time in Awajishima, and the history of incense began in Awajishima.
With such an incense that Awajishima is proud of, you can experience the creation of a cute scent that can be enjoyed as a room fragrance.
Choose your favorite from various colors and fragrances to make incense dough, and make shape with a cookie shape. It can be made with simple work, so children can have fun experience. It is also recommended that you choose a different color and make a colorful incense.
Why don't you make an incense with a soft scent and a cute shape as a souvenir of Awajishima?

About Kaosudo
Kunjudo is a historical incense company founded in 1893. It is also known for the first time in the world to develop micro-smoke incense sticks.
We are committed to developing and manufacturing better products every day based on our management philosophy of "rearing customers and loving the scent."
To protect nature, coconut shell charcoal, which is designated as an eco-friendly ingredient, is used as a raw material for incense sticks with less smoke. In addition, we have succeeded in developing eco-friendly incense made from unused wood produced in Japan, focusing on materials that replace the main raw material of incense sticks, and donate a portion of the sales to the Setouchi Olive Fund.
In addition to traditional incense sticks, we also handle incense sticks, smell bags, etc. that can be enjoyed as room fragrances. Please come to the memories of Awajishima.
