I love cherry blossoms." - Chiyo Uno In Neo Village, Gifu Prefecture, there is a 1500-year-old cherry tree that heralds the arrival of spring in full bloom. Its name is "Ususumi no Sakura" (Pale Ink Cherry Blossom). It is said that it was so named because it blooms beautifully like the spring mist rising in the mountain village, and then slowly changes to a pale ink color. This cherry tree, which has miraculously aged, is said to have been planted by Emperor Keitai. It was Chiyo Uno who worked tirelessly to save the "Ususumi no Sakura," which was about to decay. The "Ususumi Sakura" was miraculously revived and became one of the "Three Great Cherry Trees of Japan." The "Ususumi no Sakura" has been loved by many people and has healed many people. This incense is inspired by its boundless gentleness and embracing power. Very little smoke, gentle cherry blossom fragrance. Contains cherry bark polyphenol, moso bamboo charcoal, and plant extracts. The incense sticks are stored in a sachet with an elegant cherry blossom design.
