An individually packaged HA KO Paper Incense leaf is a gentle introduction to this modern reinterpretation of Japanese incense. Developed over five years by one of Japan’s oldest incense houses, each leaf is hand-crafted from washi paper and infused with fragrance that calms, purifies, and restores balance.
Use it as a delicate potpourri—perfuming your space for up to three months—or light it to smolder softly for about seven minutes, releasing a serene, cleansing aroma.
