Hibi Match is the result of a collaboration between two traditional Japanese industries based in Hyogo Prefecture: the incense manufacturers of Awaji Island and the match-makers of Harima. 

After years of trial and error, the Kobe Match Co., the creators of the Hibi Match, arrived at the perfect mixture of paper fibres, incense and charcoal to create the perfect strike-on-box incense match. The result is a unique style of fragrance that requires no additional lighting device.

The Harima region of Awaji island has been producing matches and incense for nearly one hundred and fifty years, and the island accounts for nearly 70% of the match production in Japan. The westerly winds through Awaji island create the perfect temperature to dry incense; each of the fragrances derives from herbs grown by a local incense producer using traditional methods.
