Welcome to the world of “Kyokasho.”

Thank you for choosing our products. Here, we provide tips on how to use and care for each item, so you can enjoy them safely and for years to come. We hope the pieces you receive will bring a touch of comfort and beauty to your everyday life.

Caring for the masu (wooden cups):

• These masu can be used as tableware.
• Before first use, rinse with water and lightly moisten, then pour your drink.
• To keep them beautiful for years, gently hand wash after use and let them dry completely before storing.
• If the hinoki fragrance fades, lightly sprinkle with water to refresh its aroma.

How to Use the Washi Paper Enishi (washi paper creations with hinoki cube):

• Can be used as a humidifier, dehumidifier, or aroma wood.
• When using water or essential oils, place just a few drops directly on the washi.

Candle Safety & Care

• Not edible.
• Never leave burning candles unattended.
• Place on a flat, stable surface.
• Keep away from children, pets, and flammable materials.
• Avoid windy areas.
• Extinguish before burning completely.
• Do not leave the candle unattended. Always monitor the flame and melting condition
• Sprinkle a little water on the candle’s surface to refresh the hinoki aroma if it fades.

For Long-Lasting Use

• On first use, let the surface wax melt evenly.
• Keep the wick trimmed to 5–7 mm to maintain a safe flame.
• Extinguish by bending the wick into the wax with tweezers, not by blowing, to reduce smoke and soot. This helps reduce smoke and soot, and makes it easier to relight next time.
• Limit continuous use to 2–3 hours.
• Store in a cool, ventilated place away from direct sunlight to prevent deformation or fading.

How to Use

• When using essential oils, please apply a few drops directly onto the washi paper.
• This product is made with polymer clay. Do not wash it with water, as prolonged exposure to moisture may cause it to lose its shape. To clean it, gently wipe it with a dry or slightly damp cloth.

Care & Handling

• Avoid placing the artwork in direct sunlight or under strong lighting for extended periods, as this can cause the paper and ink to fade or discolor.
• Store the piece in a well-ventilated area, away from high humidity and sudden temperature changes.
• When displaying, hang the artwork on a wall that doesn‘t receive direct sunlight, or place it in a framed case with glass.
• Regularly allowing the piece to air out will help prevent mold and stains.
