More About the Maker: Hibi Match was founded in Kobe, Japan, a location where match and incense manufacturing meet. In the mid 1800’s, at the beginning of the Meiji period, Harima, Japan was adopting European techniques for match production and developing a thriving local industry. Around the same time in 1850, craftsmen from Sakai brought incense-making to nearby Awaji Island after finding that the island's westerly winds were ideal for drying incense. Because both matches and incense are used every day, Hibi founder Masafumi Sagayama saw potential in creating something that would not only serve both purposes but would add a moment of calm into one’s day. After three and a half yers of experimenting combining paper pulp with incense powder, he finally found the perfect ratio and the Hibi Incense Match was born. Each box contains eight matches and a burning pad to be placed on a non-flamable surface such as ceramic or metal.
