Japanese smudge stick - Kusunoki (Camphor tree)

Smudging is a practice used to purify spaces, found in many cultures around the world. Hinoki cypress and Kusunoki camphor are sacred trees in Japanese culture, and are even mentioned in the Nihon Shoki (Chronicles of Japan, the second-oldest book of classical Japanese history). Both cypress and camphor are said to have deodorant, pest repellant, and relaxation effects, and make purifying aromas that waft through spaces. [How to use] Remove the wrapper from the smudge and light the tip. Place the smudge on a nonflammable plate and enjoy the natural aroma wafting through the air. Repeat the natural fragrance by lighting from the extinguished part of the smudge. Remove the wrapping paper from the smudge stick, light the tip, then let it smolder. Enjoy the faint natural aroma of the smudge stick as it wafts toward you in a spacious area. Once the spark of the smudge stick goes out, it will stop burning, but will smolder better. Light the smudge stick again where the flame has gone out,
