Kobe Matches Hibi Incense Match Sticks

Hibi incense match sticks by Kobe Matches.

Hibi is an incense stick that takes the convenient form of a box of matches and includes incense holder, allowing for easy use without an additional lighting device.

This innovation has resulted from a collaboration between two traditional Japanese industries based in Hyogo Prefecture: the incense manufacturers of Awaji Island and the match-makers of Harima. 

After 3 years of a collaborative effort, these traditional Japanese crafts have been united in a single product which offers a way to fragrance your home ‘Hibi’ – a Japanese term which translates as ‘day by day’.
