[0015] Hereinafter, a method for producing incense according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0016] [First embodiment] First, a method for manufacturing incense according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 is a flowchart illustrating the method for manufacturing incense according to the first embodiment. Figure 2 is a photograph of incense 1 manufactured by the method for manufacturing incense according to the first embodiment.

[0017] As shown in Figure 1, the incense manufacturing method according to the first embodiment is a method for manufacturing incense 1 (see Figure 2) that can be broken by hand into the required amount for use. Specifically, the incense manufacturing method includes a kneading step S11, a packing step S12, a molding step S13, and a drying step S14.

[0018] The kneading step S11 is a step in which the ingredients are kneaded together to form a paste. The ingredients are Tabu powder, flavoring, and water, and may further contain charcoal powder. When charcoal powder is not included, the weight ratio of Tabu powder, flavoring, and water is preferably 27:5:60. When charcoal powder is included, the weight ratio of Tabu powder, charcoal powder, flavoring, and water is preferably 27:18:5:60.

[0019] The packing step S12 is a step of packing the paste produced in the kneading step S11 into a rectangular bag. The rectangular bag is selected depending on the shape and dimensions of the incense 1 (see FIG. 2) to be finally produced.

[0020] The forming step S13 is a step of rolling out the mixture produced in the kneading step S11 to a predetermined thickness and forming it into a plate shape. The predetermined thickness is preferably 0.5 mm or more and 3 mm or less, and more preferably 1 mm or more and 2 mm or less.

[0021] Specifically, the forming step S13 is a step of forming the paste contained in the rectangular bag in the containing step S12 into a rectangular plate (tile) by applying force from outside the bag. The length and width dimensions of the rectangular plate to be formed are set appropriately, but it is preferable that they are 20 cm long x 20 cm wide.

[0022] The drying step S14 is a step of naturally drying the product formed in the forming step S13 indoors, away from direct sunlight. The time for natural drying is set appropriately depending on the temperature and humidity of the room, but is preferably 12 hours to 10 days, and more preferably one week.

[0023] By going through the above steps S11 to S14, the rectangular plate-shaped incense stick 1 as shown in FIG. 2 is manufactured.

[0024] This method of manufacturing incense allows the incense 1 to be produced so that the amount of incense needed can be broken by hand and then used. In other words, this embodiment provides a method of manufacturing incense that allows the duration of the fragrance to be adjusted.

[0025] Furthermore, unlike typical stick-shaped incense, the incense 1 produced by this method leaves no ash scattered after use, making it less likely to get dirty and easier to dispose of. The incense 1 can be broken into pieces and placed in a bag, wallet, pouch, etc., and used like an air freshener. Furthermore, the incense 1 has a wider width than typical stick-shaped incense, making it easier to spread the fragrance.

[0026] [Second Embodiment] Next, a method for producing incense according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 3 and 4. Figure 3 is a flowchart illustrating the method for producing incense according to the second embodiment. Figure 4 is a photograph of incense 2 produced by the method for producing incense according to the second embodiment.

[0027] As shown in Figure 3, the incense manufacturing method according to the second embodiment is a method for manufacturing incense 2 (see Figure 4) that is broken into pieces by hand and then used. Specifically, the incense manufacturing method includes a kneading step S21, a spreading step S22, a shaping step S23, and a drying step S24.

[0028] The kneading step S21 is a step in which materials including crushed fragrant wood are kneaded together to form a paste. The materials are tabu powder, crushed fragrant wood, and water, and may further contain charcoal powder and fragrance. When charcoal powder and fragrance are not included, the weight ratio of tabu powder, crushed fragrant wood, and water is more preferably 10:7:25. The fragrant wood is preferably palo santo.

[0029] The spreading step S22 is a step of spreading the paste made in the kneading step S21 to a predetermined thickness. The predetermined thickness is preferably 5 mm or more and 15 mm or less, and more preferably 10 mm.

[0030] The forming step S23 is a step in which the material rolled out to a predetermined thickness in the spreading step S22 is cut to predetermined dimensions and formed into a block shape (a cookie-like shape). The predetermined dimensions are set as appropriate, but are preferably 9 cm long x 5 cm wide.

[0031] The drying step S24 is a step of naturally drying the product formed in the forming step S13 indoors away from direct sunlight. The time for natural drying is set appropriately depending on the temperature and humidity of the room, but is preferably 12 hours to 20 days, and more preferably 1 week to 2 weeks.

[0032] By going through the above steps S21 to S24, a block of incense 2 as shown in FIG. 4 is manufactured.

[0033] This method of manufacturing incense has the same effects as the method of manufacturing incense according to the first embodiment.

[0034] Furthermore, unlike ordinary sticks made from fragrant wood, the incense 2 produced by this incense manufacturing method does not catch fire and emit a lot of smoke, making it safe for use by users with small children or pets.

[0035] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the spirit and technical concept of the present invention. In other words, the dimensions (length, width, thickness, etc.), amount, shape, material, etc. of each component can be changed as appropriate.

[0036] For example, in the second embodiment, palo santo is used as the fragrant wood, but the present invention is not limited to this, and sandalwood, agarwood, or aloeswood may also be used as the fragrant wood. [Explanation of symbols]
