OIMU - Natural Incense Sticks (Spring)

OIMU is a Seoul-based design studio, whose projects reinterpret forgotten cultural values and traditions. Their natural incense sticks are handmade through a labour-intensive process harnessing traditional Korean techniques, where skilled craftsman knead the raw natural materials and extract the dough elaborately by hand before air drying it in the wind over several months.

Oimu's 'Spring' is a harmonious scent with a soft and clean flower scent and a subtle scent of sandalwood, which contains the vitality of spring that comes to life under warm sunlight. 'On a calm spring day, I sat burning incense, and the Sapsal dog dreamed while the spider spun its web."- Han Yong-un, <춘주> 中 -
