"Chikuka" is designed to evoke the tranquil beauty of a bamboo forest. This scent from Koto no Kou incense series artfully blends the clean, green notes of bamboo with delicate hints of lily of the valley, the subtle floral sweetness of cyclamen, and a bright, citrusy touch of bergamot. The result is a sophisticated fragrance profile that is both grounding and uplifting, perfect for creating a peaceful atmosphere in any space.
About Koto no Kou

Each incense is meticulously crafted to evoke the essence of Japanese tradition, with distinct fragrances like the clear "Sumi" (Ink Fragrance) and the refreshing "Take" (Bamboo Fragrance). Whether you seek a personal moment of tranquility or a thoughtful gift, these incense sticks, inspired by nature and culture, provide an elegant and aromatic experience.
⚠️ Important Safety Note: Always burn incense in a well-ventilated area, keep it away from flammable materials, children, and pets, and never leave burning incense unattended. Ensure the burner is stable and on a protected surface, and allow ash and burner to cool completely before handling.
