Japanese Short Stick Incense – 20-minute burn for reading, writing, and workshops
These Japanese short stick incenses are perfect for accompanying moments of reading, writing, drawing, calligraphy, or preparing a calm space.
Their approximately 8 cm size allows for a short burn, about 20 minutes per stick, without diffusing too long in the room.
Four blends are offered: Tuberose, Sauvage, Black Tea, or Cedar. As the sticks are slightly thicker than some fine incenses, please check the diameter of your incense holder before use.
INFORMATION
The duration is approximately 20 minutes. It may vary depending on room ventilation, drafts, ambient humidity, and the storage conditions of the stick.
The short format is suitable for moments when you want to mark a beginning and an end: a few pages of reading, a calligraphy session, a drawing time, or a break at the end of the day.
Scent intensity depends on the room size and its ventilation. Starting with just one stick helps to assess the scent's presence without overwhelming the space.

USE & PRECAUTIONS
Place the stick in a stable incense holder, on a flat, heat-resistant surface. Ensure the stick is secure and that the ash will fall into the holder.
Light the tip, let the flame catch for a few seconds, then gently blow to leave only the ember.
Never leave burning incense unattended. Keep away from fabrics, papers, curtains, dry plants, drafts, children, and pets.
Ventilate the room after burning, especially in a closed or poorly ventilated space.
PAIR WITH
To collect ash on a simple surface, this incense can be used with the
stainless steel incense holder plate,
provided the stick diameter is compatible with the holder's opening.
For a more vertical or contained presentation, you can also check compatibility with the

To create a reading, tea, or writing space, it can be placed near the
compact bamboo tea tray
or the
wooden preparation tray.

🤍 Ikane Workshop Tip
Light a single stick at the beginning. Its burning becomes a simple marker: as the scent settles, put down your phone and engage in your chosen practice.
