SOZO is a unique incense stick where both fragrance and colour shift over time.
Born as a “fragrance incense timer”, it allows you to perceive the passage of time through its “changing scent” – a quality absent in conventional incense.

shinko Co., Ltd. has continued incense stick production on Awaji Island for over 36 years, upholding the philosophy of ‘crafting things that are both old and new’. While inheriting traditional techniques, we incorporate contemporary sensibilities and ethical perspectives, proposing moments and spaces to calm the mind.

‘The same scent becomes tiresome’, ‘It’s wasteful not to use it all up’ – SOZO was born from such feedback, offering an ever-changing fragrance that never grows old. It is a unique product, developed and manufactured entirely in-house over approximately five years.

Crafted with care by artisans at our Awaji Island factory using only carefully selected materials, its gentle fragrance gently signals the passage of time. It is ideal for yoga, meditation, or moments of digital detox.
Designed to be laid flat while burning, it allows you to safely enjoy the fragrance until the very end (includes 15 incense sticks, 1 box of matches, and a non-flammable mat).
