Five minutes left in a taxi to my destination. I'll reply to the email I received and make good use of the time. Two minutes left. I still have time. What should I do? I want to buy a robot vacuum cleaner, so I'll research which robot vacuum cleaner is the right choice. I don't want to lose out.

While traveling around Japan, I have worked to help engineers in companies and municipalities around the world. In my busy days, I have always sought to improve work efficiency and find optimal solutions. By eliminating waste and shortening time, my work has become more efficient.

"Is there any meaning to that time?"

I always kept these values ​​in mind when making decisions. However, I realized that a series of these actions had made it difficult for me to be lazy. My excessive values ​​of efficiency, time saving, and minimalism, and my search for meaning in everything, made it difficult for me to switch my mind and body on and off.

My breathing is shallow and I can't get rid of fatigue.
It's hard to sleep at night.

During that time, when I went back home in between work,
I was captivated by something that was moving through the space illuminated by the light coming in through the window. It looked like a cloud, a thread, or a jellyfish.

It is constantly changing and transitioning delicately.
Next comes the soft, calming scent of flowers.

It was the incense that my grandmother gave to my grandfather who passed away when I was in elementary school. It was a casual sight I had seen since I was a child. I honestly thought, "I loved the smoke of incense even as a child." I immediately tried burning the incense while traveling. The scent of incense reached me softly, and the smoke moved through the space.

I suddenly realized that I could just laze around. The delicate smoke itself is beautiful, so I could forgive myself for meaningless time spent doing nothing. I wondered if I could design a product that could capture this beautiful natural phenomenon, like a bonfire or a shooting star.

People need time to work hard and time to relax. The sun shines brilliantly during the day, but in the evening it gradually turns a gentle crimson color, sinks below the horizon, and goes to rest at night. People are the same.

I would like to recommend Yukage's INCENSE LIGHT to those who, like me, are busy in this modern world and cannot find the time to create more space in their hearts. The visible scent of INCENSE LIGHT has no meaning. It has no meaning to you, like the arrival time of a taxi. The visible scent simply changes slowly beside you, delivering the scent and space. Space may help you notice important things you have overlooked until now, or be kinder to someone close to you.

Take a deep breath, slowly
Align the rhythm of your mind and body.

Through this time, busy people's minds can be restored.
That's why INCENSE LIGHT was born.

We look forward to your continued support.

----- Yukage
