Kunjudo HA KO No. 4 Moss – Japanese Incense Paper

Kunjudo HA KO No. 4 Moss is a Japanese incense paper made from perfumed washi paper on Awaji Island. The finely embossed paper is cut into the shape of a Higan cherry leaf (Prunus subhirtella). Its clearly defined leaf veins and natural silhouette also make the scented leaf a small decorative object.

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 or aromatic substance interpreted by each fragrance variation.

HA KO No. 4 Moss – inspired by damp moss

No. 4 Moss interprets the fragrance of moss. Kunjudo describes the composition through the image of moss growing beneath a bamboo grove, absorbing abundant water. This nature-inspired fragrance concept gives Moss its own distinctive identity within the classic white HA KO series, setting it apart from the woody Sandalwood, Agarwood and Cedar variations.

Burn as incense or enjoy as a 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 unattended while smouldering.

The HA KO leaf can also be used without burning. It can, for example, be placed inside a book or letter, or displayed as a decorative fragrance object, where its perfume gradually unfolds. The principle is somewhat reminiscent of Papier d’Arménie, but HA KO is a distinctive Japanese creation made from embossed washi paper in an artfully crafted leaf shape.
