Sakura Usuzumi – Japanese incense sticks with cherry blossom scent
Immerse yourself in the fascinating story of the Usuzumi No Sakura , one of Japan's oldest and most important cherry trees. Deep in the mountains of Gifu Prefecture, this legendary tree is estimated to be over 1,500 years old. Its name, "the pale gray cherry blossom," comes from a unique phenomenon: As the blossoms begin to wilt, they take on a soft gray-silver hue —a symbol of the transience and beauty of life.
A fragrance full of history and poetry
The famous Japanese writer Chiyo Uno was deeply moved by the Usuzumi No Sakura and wrote about her encounter with the tree:
"Happiness is nothing extraordinary. It's like a cherry blossom—a fleeting but wonderful moment."
When Uno visited the tree in the 1970s , it was in danger of decay. But thanks to the collaborative efforts of conservationists and local residents, it was saved—and it continues to bloom today. Sakura Usuzumi incense sticks carry on this legacy, emitting a gentle, floral scent reminiscent of the first blooming of cherry blossoms in spring.
