Six in Sense—KUROBO, a fragrance inspired by the Tale of Genji, is a deep, nostalgic, and calming fragrance inspired by a 1,000-year-old recipe. It is considered a fragrance used to celebrate special occasions, or "hare," and is also classified as a winter scent.

Incense ingredients from around the world met and intermingled in Japan 1,000 years ago, and departed as Japanese fragrances for the world. Experience a "new and old" incense experience with this 1,000-year-old recipe. Sustainably packaged. By using incense burner ash (sold separately), you can burn the incense thoroughly without any embers.
