Neriko is a black pill-shaped incense that was widely used during the Heian period. In The Tale of Genji, there is a scene in which Hikaru Genji, Murasaki no Ue, and other characters are actually created and evaluated, and it is still known as one of the Six Kinds of Kaorumono. It is also used in front of the charcoal in winter during tea ceremonies. Nerika is not something to be used at room temperature, but rather to be warmed to enjoy its aroma. We placed lit charcoal in an incense burner filled with ashes, placed incense sticks on top of the warmed ashes, and enjoyed the scent that wafted through the air. Enjoy the relaxing time and space as the charcoal warms the ashes, along with the scent. It is also recommended before welcoming guests. We have boxes and bags for you to take home, as well as charcoal and incense burner ash for you to use at home.

Create your own original incense paste using only natural incense ingredients such as powdered sandalwood, dragon brain, and clove! Zuko is a powdered incense that monks apply on their palms as a purifying scent in Buddhism. Among the Japanese scents that are used by transferring the scent to something, it is the only one that can be applied directly to the body. In ancient times, people used to collect the first morning dew that had accumulated on lotus leaves, mix sandalwood with the water, and apply it to their bodies. Unlike liquid scents, it is a powder type, so it has low volatility and does not easily diffuse into the surrounding area, making it a convenient scent that can be used without being noticed by those around you. Recommended for relaxing between work. Also, since you only need to use a small amount and don't apply too much, this item is perfect for those who can't get a strong scent in a place where there are people, but still want to add something. *Some sects, such as Zen Buddhism, do not use incense.

Systema is a military martial art based on traditional Russian martial arts. Systema has the following four characteristics. Breathing: Breathing is very important in Systema. Deep breathing helps oxygenate your entire body and relax your muscles. Relaxation: In Systema, it is important not to tense your muscles. If you tense your muscles, your movement will be restricted and your opponent will be more likely to attack you. Posture: Maintaining good posture is important in Systema. By maintaining the correct posture, you will be able to maintain your balance and be less likely to be attacked by your opponent. Keep moving: At Systema, it's important to keep moving. By continuing to move, it becomes difficult for your opponent to predict you, making it easier to dodge attacks. Systema is a practical martial art that assumes various situations in modern warfare. It incorporates a wide range of techniques, from martial arts using weapons to bare-handed martial arts. Systema is a martial art that is popular not only with the military, but also with the police, security guards, and the general public.
