THE BRAND
After years of experimentation, Kobe Match Co. perfected a blend of paper fibers, incense, and charcoal to create Hibi’s signature strike-on-box incense match. Produced in Japan’s Harima region on Awaji Island, known for over 150 years of match and incense craftsmanship, each fragrance is sourced from locally grown herbs and crafted using traditional methods. Hibi’s clever design allows for short aromatherapy sessions anywhere, anytime—an everyday luxury in a matchbox.
