24/06/2019 by nikkobase Leave a Comment

Tochigi prefecture has several traditional craft products, and one of them is Sugi-senko, Japanese cedar incense sticks.

It is said that this incense sticks were created in 1864, when Adachi Shigeshichi produced stick incense from Japanese cedar leaves in what is now Nikko City. This cedar was widely available in the area, which helped the industry to flourish.

What makes Sugi-senko special is their natural cedar aroma, and the main ingredient is Japanese cedar leaves ground to a powder using a water wheel.
