Founded in the Edo Period: Experience the Fragrance of Japanese Flowers—300 Years of Tradition in Sakai Incense.
HANA-KURABE Japanese Traditional Incense embodies over 300 years of tradition, delivering the soothing and revitalizing power of fragrance. Among the five senses, scent has a unique ability to evoke memories and emotions, directly connecting to the brain and enriching our lives. Sakai incense offers more than just an aroma—it becomes an integral part of holistic relaxation and well-being.
Sakai, a city renowned as the cradle of Japanese craftsmanship and culture, has long been a hub for incense production. As pioneers in blending Southeast Asian aromatics with traditional Japanese techniques, Sakai artisans elevated incense-making to an art form. Their dedication gave birth to the slender "line of fragrance" that we now call incense—a refined representation of Japan's mastery of scent.
Since the Kyōhō era (1716–1736), Sakai incense has thrived on the principles of "unchanging essence, ever-evolving innovation." This timeless dedication ensures that Sakai incense not only calms the mind but also enriches everyday moments and special occasions.
