Hibi Match

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. Each Hibi match lasts for about ten minutes, bringing delightful fragrances wherever you take the palm-sized box, allowing for short aromatherapy sessions for the busy individual.

The Harima region of Awaji Island has been producing matches and incense for nearly 150 years, and the island accounts for nearly 70% of Japan’s match production. The westerly winds through Awaji Island create the perfect temperature to dry incense; each fragrance is derived from herbs grown by a local incense producer using traditional methods.
