The Joy of Burning Leaves
HA KO are a series of elegant, leaf-shaped paper incense that can be enjoyed as potpourri, or burned like traditional incense. Elegant and sophisticated, HA KO Black is available in two different aromas:
Relax is inspired by a meditative walk through a forest engulfed in fog. Active aromas include Vetiver, which soothes tension, and Japanese Cypress and Bergamot, which help calm the nerves.
Sleep is inspired by a deep slumber in a quiet forest. Active aromas include the gentleness of Lavender, the earthy calm of Patchouli, and the depth of Cedarwood.
As potpourri, the leaves emit subtle aromas that last for roughly 3 months. To burn them, simply place an a nonflammable plate, light and then extinguish. A small, nonflammable felt is included to make lighting easier. They'll slowly burn for 5 - 7 minutes as the aroma fills the room.

About
HA KO, a combination of the words ha (葉; leaf) and ko (香; incense) is produced by Kunjudo, a 120-year old maker of incense founded in 1893 on Awaji Island. The oldest record of incense in Japan can be found in The Nihon Shoki (日本書紀) where it states that aromatic wood drifted onto Awaji Island. Located in Japan’s Seto Inland Sea, Awaji Island has preserved this tradition of incense and, for hundreds of years, continued to rethink it. Throughout their history, Kunjudo has created stable, high-quality incense by working with fragrance master and artisans.
