About the incense included with the kimono product:
Each kimono product includes a small incense envelope.
Silk Kimono products travel long distances from Japan,
and to make sure no insects harm the silk kimono product I include incense that has a repellent effect. It is made from cloves, sandalwood, cinnamon and camphor etc.
Combinations such as this have been used for over a thousand years in Japan as traditional fragrances and insect repellent.
The practice is said to have started in Japan in the 6th century, and it became a cultural tradition like tea ceremony and flower arranging.
If you don’t like the fragrance you can simply hang the bag in a shaded place for a few days and the fragrance will disappear.
