The founder and perfumer of the brand, Chikako, works in both Tokyo, Japan and Grasse, France. Her incense designs draw on the traditions of both of these places, melding incense with a perfumer’s training.

Chikako: I am a perfumery artist specialized in incense fragrances with a particular focus on natural materials. I graduated from Tama Art University in Japan and Grasse Institute of Perfumery located in Grasse, Southern France, which is renowned as the town of perfume industry. It is my desire to cherish and embrace the energy of Nature.

When you use TOKYO KODO's incense, you can image Nature and Earth from which the scents are sourced. And, you may be able to feel how our lives are in fact connected to Nature.

‘Invisible things like scents not only nurture our senses but also increase our sensitivity. And, they slowly open up circuits to all of the senses we possess. Soon after, you may feel something has changed in you. You will discover that your heart is gradually flowing into an affluent river.’

Mimosa (or Wattle as we call it in Australia) has long been a symbol of optimism and perseverance. Blooming in the depths of winter, the blooms of the wattle tree speak to a sun filled future.
