Hyogo prefecture's traditional crafts include centuries of incense blending, and more recently, 70% of Japan's match production. A marriage of the two crafts - the incense of Awaji Island and matches of Harima, these self-lighting incense sticks by Hibi were trialled and refined over 3 years.

Hibi (meaning 'day's) incorporates natural paper fibers, wax and charcoal into meticulously balanced incense powders, creating a strikable, matchless incense stick which burns safely on its own reusable custom pad. A modern vessel for a traditional ritual.
