Nihon Shoki (Chronicles of Japan) says, "Use cedar and camphor tree for boats, hinoki for palaces, and Japanese umbrella pine for coffins". Hinoki contains a lot of hinokitiol, which has a high antibacterial effect as well as an excellent deodorant effect. It is also said that the scent of hinoki has a relaxing effect, and research has shown that inhalation of the scent component α-pinene contained in hinoki makes parasympathetic nerves dominate and leads to relaxation. Please use it for mental and physical purification and relaxation. 10% Japanese hinoki oil and 10% cypress wood are very luxuriously blended to create this incense. White sage: Originally, Native Americans used white sage by smudging dried branches and leaves for "purification of a place" and "purification of themselves". Currently, it is widely used such as purifying power stones. It contains a very luxuriously 40% of California organic white sage. When this incense is burnt, the simple scent like smoking leaf and the scent peculiar to white sage float in the room. You can keep the scent for a longer time than the actual one on the same scent as when you smudge the branches and leaves directly. Since this product contains a lot of ingredients derived from medicinal herbs, it has an excellent effect of eliminating the odour of the room (deodorising effect).
