星雲香 Star Cloud

One of my favorite celestial legends is Tanabata. It's the story of two distant stars, separated by a heavenly river. In ancient times they were together, but their love burned too bright, and the universe forced them apart. One night a year, on the seventh day of the seventh month, they are allowed to cross the Milky Way and find each other again.

Star Cloud was born from that story.

私が最も好きな天上の伝説のひとつが、七夕です。天の川によって隔てられた、ふたつの遠い星の物語。古の時代、ふたりは共にありました。しかしその愛は燃えすぎて、宇宙はふたりを引き離しました。年に一度、七月七日の夜だけ、ふたりは天の川を渡り、再び巡り会うことを許されます。

星雲香は、その物語から生まれました。

  • Frankincense, sandalwood, and a rare myrrh from the island of Socotra.

  • Finished in deep indigo with fine golden particles that faintly glimmer even under moonlight. 

  • Each set of three sticks is wrapped by hand in Sekishu washi, a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage paper from Shimane Prefecture, in the style of tsutsumi, inspired by tanzaku.

  • Available now in three sizes — Galaxy, Nebula, and Star.

Handmade in Nara, Japan.

This is a limited release and will only be available through August 19th, the date of Tanabata on the traditional lunar calendar.

  • フランキンセンス、白檀、そしてソコトラ島産の希少な没薬。

  • 深いインディゴで仕上げられ、細かな金の粒子をまとい、月明かりの下でさえその表面はかすかに輝きます。

  • 3本一組を、ユネスコ無形文化遺産に登録された島根県の石州和紙で、短冊に着想を得た包みの様式で、ひとつひとつ手包みしています。

  • 現在、3つのサイズでお求めいただけます。銀河、星雲、そして星。

日本、奈良にて手作り。

数量限定でのご用意となり、旧暦の七夕にあたる8月19日までの期間限定販売となります。
