Kunjudo HA KO No. 3 Cedar – Japanese Incense Paper

Kunjudo HA KO No. 3 Cedar is a Japanese incense paper made from perfumed washi paper on Awaji Island. The paper is finely embossed and cut into the shape of a Quercus glauca leaf. Its detailed leaf veins and natural silhouette give this unusual form of incense the appearance of a real leaf.

HA KO is an original creation by Kunjudo and is produced using a patented manufacturing process. Its name combines the Japanese words for leaf and fragrance or incense. The different leaf shapes are part of the collection’s aesthetic design and do not necessarily correspond to the plant associated with each fragrance.

HA KO No. 3 Cedar – a warm cedarwood fragrance

No. 3 Cedar is dedicated to the fragrance of cedarwood. Kunjudo describes this composition as warm and elegant. Its woody character distinguishes Cedar within the classic white HA KO series from the softer sandalwood interpretation of No. 1 and the agarwood fragrance of No. 2.

Incense paper and decorative scented leaf

To burn as incense, light one end of the leaf and then blow out the flame. Place the smouldering leaf on a fireproof surface and allow it to burn slowly. The burning time is approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Do not leave the incense paper unattended while it is smouldering.

HA KO can also be used without burning. The scented leaf can, for example, be placed inside a book or letter, or displayed as a decorative fragrance object, where it gradually releases its perfume. The principle is somewhat reminiscent of Papier d’Arménie, but Kunjudo offers its own distinctive Japanese interpretation using embossed washi paper in an artfully crafted leaf shape.
