To you who are suffering from insomnia.
When I couldn't sleep at night...
My family home is a Buddhist altar store that was founded 113 years ago.
From morning to night, I was busy with work, childcare, community activities, etc., and had no time to face myself.
"Is this the right way for me to live?"
"How long will this busyness last?"
Such thoughts never left my mind.
And the nights of not being able to sleep continued, with work, family, and tomorrow swirling in my head.
Then, one night, I suddenly decided to burn some incense before going to bed.
(As it's a Buddhist altar store, incense was readily available.)
As I calmed my mind while smelling the aroma, the daily hustle and bustle and the fog in my mind mysteriously lightened.
After burning the incense, I was mysteriously able to sleep soundly.
I think I was able to organize my thoughts and relax.
From that experience,
"If only there was incense that was more conducive to sleep..."
I decided to make it myself.
Actually, many people dislike the smoke from incense,
・It gets on clothes
・It smells and is smoky
・It's scary to light it
etc.
The reality is that it is literally "smoked out" by society.
In fact, I heard similar comments from customers and family.
Then I thought, wouldn't it be accepted if there was an incense that combined these three elements: "less smoke," "natural ingredients," and "a calming scent"?
From there, I went through many prototypes.
■Over a year. After more than 100 prototypes, I invented incense for sleep.
It's not widely known, but common commercially available incense sometimes contains
・Petroleum-derived fragrances
・Fragrances designated as hazardous chemicals
・Antifungal agents
・Chemical glues
・Colorants
Even if such irritants are used, there is no legal problem.
In contrast, I developed a recipe that does not use any colorants, petroleum-derived fragrances, antifungal agents, or chemical glues.
I adhered to three commitments.
・Uses only ingredients safe enough to eat
∟Because I want my family to use it with peace of mind.
・Special blend that minimizes smoke
∟Easy to breathe, doesn't bother you in the bedroom.
・Box designed to double as an incense burner
∟No tools required, ready to use immediately. I wanted to lower the barrier to relaxation.
The product name is...
"ZENCOCORO"
At the end of the day, it gently calms your mind. To provide a tranquil state of mind, like Zen, even for just a moment while burning incense amidst a busy daily life.
I named it with the desire to deliver such a time.
Its gentle, subtle scent releases the tension deep within your heart.
■Recommended for:
・Those who can't sleep due to overthinking at night.
・Those who want to relax before sleeping but are bothered by incense smoke.
・Those who want to use it safely in a bedroom with children or family.
・Those looking for a more natural and gentle fragrance.
Includes a patented incense burner
You might be worried about using fire with incense... or not having an incense burner...
There's no need to worry.
The "ZENCOCORO" box includes a patented incense burner.
It's easy to use.
① Light the incense
② Place it on the fireproof mat
③ Place the included clip (to adjust burn time)
By using the included clip, you can adjust the burning time.
The metal clip extinguishes the flame where it touches the incense, so you can easily control the time if you don't want to use the whole stick.
For example, if you feel like "I only want to burn it for 15 minutes today," just place the clip.
What's more, it produces little smoke and won't disturb your sleep.
We aimed for 1/10th the amount of smoke of traditional incense so it can be burned easily even in a studio apartment.
Since it produces significantly less smoke than regular incense, it won't interfere with your sleep or the sleep of family members you share a room with.
In fact, I tried it in the bedroom with my wife, 3-year-old daughter, and 6-year-old son.
And the children slept soundly without being bothered by the smoke.
Cleaning up after use is very easy.
Just quickly tip it over a trash can and it will be clean; you won't dirty your desk either.
■Usage scenes
Light it when you're brushing your teeth or doing your skincare...
It triggers a mental switch for sleep.
Before getting into bed, turn off your smartphone, light the incense...
The bedroom is enveloped in a gentle aroma.
Not only by the bedside,
but also during relaxing moments in the living room...
The gentle, subtle fragrance of natural materials won't interfere with the taste of tea or alcohol.
■Selected the best materials for a good sleep environment
[Hisui (Jade) Mandarin Orange]*Wakayama Prefecture product
These are mandarin oranges grown in Hidakagawa Town, Wakayama Prefecture.
Surprisingly! These are Hisui mandarin oranges from Kuramitsu Noen (farm), which is even used by Michelin-starred restaurants.
[Agarwood] *From Kalimantan, Indonesia
This is a scent burned by samurai to calm their agitated minds during battle, and by meditating monks to calm their hearts. It contains components like agarospirol and benzylacetone, which have strong sedative effects.
[Sandalwood]*From India
Sandalwood has a history of being burned during meditation since ancient times. It is one of the most commonly used incenses in Japan.
[Cedarwood Oil] *From USA
It has a fragrance that evokes the warmth of a great forest.
[Kishu Binchotan Charcoal] *Wakayama Prefecture product
It has the effect of reducing excess smoke without disturbing the fragrance. All materials used for binding and preserving the fragrance, other than the fragrance itself, are food-grade ingredients.
■You're not the only one who can't sleep
Something many people experience at some point...
・Busy with work, housework, and childcare, unable to rest properly.
・Mind filled with worries about relationships and future anxieties.
・Can't sleep because anxieties don't disappear even after getting into bed, and you keep thinking.
・Start looking at your smartphone and realize it's already the middle of the night...
Haven't you had such a painful experience?
In the first place, Japanese people are not getting enough sleep compared to the rest of the world.
Like the data shows, I was one of those who slept little.
ZENCOCORO was born from that experience.
■Crowdfunding goal achieved
The crowdfunding campaign we ran at the time of launch received support from many people, achieving 900% of our goal!
Furthermore, 85.2% of respondents to our survey reported feeling the effects.
Our efforts over a year and more than 100 prototypes paid off.

Although I haven't checked, I believe that incense specifically designed for sleep environments with less smoke may be a world-first attempt.
