Introducing a Japanese way to light and enjoy incense at a deeper level.

Hibi was created by Kobe Match Company, a company that has been producing matches in the Harima region since 1929 and still has a 75% share of Japan’s total match production.

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 one of the Hibi matches lasts for about ten minutes bringing delightful fragrances to anywhere you bring the palm-sized box, allowing short aromatherapy sessions for the busy individual.

Contains 8 incense matches, with a felt mat to use as a holder.

The Harima region of Awaji island has been producing matches and incense for nearly one hundred and fifty years and the island accounts for nearly 70% of the match production in Japan. The westerly winds through Awaji island create the perfect temperature to dry incense; each of the fragrances derives from herbs grown by a local incense producer using traditional methods.
