Neriko, or kneaded incense, was beloved by Heian-era nobles and known then as takimono. This traditional incense is enjoyed by gently warming the blend rather than burning it, rele asing a soft, layered fragrance. “Hatsune” is inspired by the first birdsong of the bush warbler, drawn by the scent of plum blossoms. Its bright, pure call brings a quiet warmth to hearts still waiting for spring amid the lingering winter cold. This blend preserves the signature sweetness of nerikō while adding a comforting depth. Rich amounts of aloeswood and sandalwood create a calm, elegant scent with a gentle warmth beneath the cool air. Show more
