Awaji Island in Hyogo Prefecture has long been deeply connected to fragrant woods and flourished as a major incense production area since ancient times.
Founded there in 1988, Shinko Co., Ltd. began with the vision of "delivering fragrances that enrich daily life."
The company has consistently challenged itself to create convenient and appealing products, such as developing techniques to ignite hard-to-light bundle incense with just one match.
The culmination of this effort is the innovative incense "SOZO," perfected over approximately five years.
Understanding that the human nose adapts to scents over time, becoming less sensitive, we developed a unique “scent timer” that creates transitions within a single stick.
Using a blend of natural and carefully selected synthetic fragrances, it is meticulously perfumed to deliver a rhythm of change that feels pleasant.
Furthermore, the packaging is designed to reflect seasonal themes, adding visual beauty and enjoyment.
SOZO gently accompanies your busy daily life, delivering quiet tranquility and enriching moments.
