A camphor incense coil set from Kusu Handmade — a small workshop in Saga Prefecture, Kyushu, built entirely around one tree. Kusunoki, the Japanese camphor tree, is the largest hardwood native to Japan, revered for centuries for its aromatic wood and the oil it yields. Used historically as medicine, insect repellent, and incense, camphor has a scent that reads like the forest floor after rain — cool, woody, mentholated, immediately clarifying.
This is the complete set: ten spiral coils, a ceramic incense holder, and a fire-resistant mat, packaged in a kraft cardboard box printed with the Kusu Handmade spiral mark. The same formula as the three-coil set — camphor from Kyushu trees, coconut shell charcoal, Machilus bark, camphor oil, lemongrass oil, and geranium oil — in a quantity that lasts. Each coil burns for approximately two hours. The ceramic holder keeps the coil elevated and stable; the mat catches the ash.
The scent is not decorative. It does something.
Comes as a set of 10 coils, 1 ceramic incense holder, 1 fire-resistant mat or as a refill of 3 coils.
WHY IT'S SPECIAL
- Camphor sourced from Kyushu kusunoki trees: Kusu Handmade extracts their camphor oil in-house, working exclusively with trees from the Fukuoka, Saga, Kumamoto, and Nagasaki regions.
- Natural insect repellent: lemongrass and geranium oils give the smoke its mosquito-repelling properties — the traditional Japanese summer alternative to synthetic repellents.
- Complete set: ten coils, ceramic incense holder, and fire-resistant mat — everything needed, nothing missing.
- Spiral coil format: burns slowly and evenly for approximately two hours per coil, releasing scent gradually into the room.
- Coconut shell charcoal base: a clean-burning, natural binder that keeps the formula free of synthetic additives.
- Kraft box packaging: the spiral mark on the lid is reason enough to keep it on the shelf.
