Koo　お香　＜＞ Incense and Daruma


These small bags are filled with fragrant wood chips, clover chips or dried flowers or other fragrant items. You can put them in the sleve of a kimono to smell well or in your handbag. They are made from colorful brocade and come with a string to hang them.
Many traditional housewifes use three of them in each box with their kimonos, as preservatives to keep off the insects. When you wear a traditional Kimono, you usually do not use Western perfume, but the smell from the sachet is enough to make the kimono smell. You can also wear one more in the sleeve or hang it from the belt.


In Kyoto there is a special traditional shop 石黒香舗 Ishiguro Koohoo selling only these bags. You can choose your own pattern and the owner will fill it with a choice of your favorite fragrance. Usually 10 different ingredients are mixed in one sachet.
If you hang a bag on your handy, you can smell while you talk.
