Scented Hooking Small Temari

Hanging temari incense · botanical dye · Sanuki Kagari Temari × Yamadamatsu

A hanging temari incense — 12 small temari strung together, designed to be suspended from a clothes hanger, doorknob, or wall hook. As it moves gently in the air, it releases a subtle fragrance and functions as an interior object in its own right.

Each temari contains rice husks and natural incense ingredients at its core — and the inner cavity holds additional incense material, extending the fragrance life to over one year. The scent is specially formulated using only natural ingredients by Yamadamatsu Kobokuten, a long-established incense house in Kyoto.

Each temari is wound entirely by hand — cotton thread dyed with plants and trees, wrapped around the core to form a true sphere of consistent size, guided only by the sensitivity of the maker's hands.
