The Philosophy & Evolution
About Logo
Inspired by Buddhism, the Chie circle is painted with a single stroke in Zen calligraphy.
It is said that the circle represents the infinite, the beginning and end of everything, enlightenment, psychology, and the universe as a whole.
Embracing Nature as It Is
The Essence of Seeing Truth
"Chië (Chie)" means the ability to see things as they really are and to recognize the truth.
Developed for modern-day lifestyles, yet keeping true to ancient wisdom, Chie does not use synthetic oils and is made only with natural aromatic ingredients in powder form.
In order to make the incense naturally, each product's burning time has not been altered or adjusted, preserving its natural qualities and uniqueness.
MINDFUL DESIGN
Conscious Packaging, Timeless Craft
The packaging of the Chië collection is environmentally friendly as FSC (Forest Stewardship Coundil) certified paper is used, in which includes a naturally derived anti-mold agent.
Each package includes 30 sticks and a ceramic holder that is made in Seto, a kiln with a history of about 100 years.
In order to maintain the natural qualities and uniqueness for each incense, the burning time for each fragrance varies, and can be anywhere between 45 minutes to 70 minutes.
