It evokes a sunlit library tucked inside a verdant city park—where time feels suspended, and the air hums with calm concentration.
Each box includes 20 incense sticks and a sleek holder, ready to set the mood for focus, clarity, or quiet imagination.

WHY IT’S SPECIAL

DIRECTIONS
Light the tip until it glows, then gently blow out the flame. Place the incense in the included holder atop a heat-safe dish and allow the smoke to drift. Each stick burns for about 25 minutes—long enough for a chapter or a quiet reflection.
THE BRAND
Tokyo-based BALLON crafts objects of scent and stillness—private sanctuaries amid urban life. Their creations exist somewhere between memory and imagination, evoking places both familiar and far: a Paris apartment, a Kyoto temple, a New York studio. Guided by Michael Ende’s idea that “Time is life itself,” BALLON invites us to rediscover quiet beauty in fleeting moments—like sunlight through a library window or a flower drifting on a river.
