OWASE, MIE HINOKI
Among the many hinoki forests of Japan, we were drawn to one fragrance from Owase, Mie Prefecture.
Soft and gentle, yet quietly powerful.
This incense is crafted from an 80-year-old hinoki tree grown by Hayami Forestry. By understanding the forest, the people, and the years behind the wood, the scent becomes richer.
Sometimes, paying attention is enough to transform an ordinary moment.
SCENT of THE HERITAGE
INTO THE FOREST
Hinoki is a familiar scent in Japan.
A scent that somehow feels calming.
And when we stop for a moment and breathe it in,
the noise of everyday life begins to soften.
WHAT TIME LEAVES BEHIND
I began exploring forests across regions—
Yoshino, Kiso, Shimanto, Owase.
Each carried a different presence.
And through the people, forests, and history behind them,
I began to understand that scent itself carries time.
Especially the gentle yet powerful scent of Owase hinoki—
a scent that could transport me into the world of forest bathing.
BREATHING STILLNESS
At first, it is simply a pleasant scent.
But with time and understanding,
it deepens.
What once smelled good
becomes something felt.
A quiet connection
to time, nature, and those who came before.
