What is "FUMIKOU" - a fragrance for paper?

"Fumiko" is a type of paper that has been scented, as the name suggests - "fumi" (letter) is a letter, and "kou" (scent) is added. When you open the letter envelope or when you gently bring your face close to it, you will be hit with a pleasant, faint scent. The ones sold in stores generally come in cherry blossom-shaped paper, for example, for cherry blossom-scented paper.

How to make "Fumiko"

If you have incense sticks at home, you can easily make it at home. Grind up one stick of incense into a see-through bag, such as a tea bag. Then wrap the tea bag in a small envelope or similar. Place the small envelope and paper in an envelope. After a while, when you open the envelope, it will smell good. The scent will also have transferred to the paper.

By the way, it is also sold at the Genji-koh shop.

Genji-koh's shop sells four types of incense under the name "Business Card Incense": "White Peach," "Rose," "Jasmine," and "Osmanthus." These incense are called "Business Card Incense" because when you put them in a business card case, the scent transfers to the business card. Please be sure to buy some when you visit Genji-koh.
