Discover a quiet echo of classical Japan with Hana no Tamoto, a rare 0.4-gram piece of Rakoku agarwood. Its provisional name means roughly "a flower's sleeve," drawn from a classical waka in the Gyokuyou Wakashu anthology that muses on the fading beauty of spring blossoms. Warmed gently, this fragrant wood releases a delicate smoke that lets you trace that same fleeting memory of spring for yourself.
In traditional Japanese culture, fragrant woods are deeply revered. Rakoku is one of the prized classifications of agarwood, valued for generations by practitioners of Kodo, the Way of Incense. Each piece of raw agarwood carries its own scent profile, shaped naturally over long stretches of time, turning a quiet evening into a small moment of mindfulness.
This piece comes cut into thin strips rather than a solid block, making it easy to use. Each strip is about 1mm thick, with a short edge measuring between 3mm and 8mm; the grain runs so that you can split off smaller portions by hand or with a small blade whenever you like. It arrives brand-new, wrapped in a traditional folded paper packet measuring 192mm by 160mm by 23mm. This selection is limited to one piece per customer.
