Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This invention relates to the realization of a set that allows you to easily make incense (ink incense) by reusing kneaded balls that are discarded during the incense manufacturing process, reviewing the traditional use of kneaded balls, and devising a storage method. [Background technology]

[0002] "Incense base" is called "kneaded balls" in the incense industry, and is made by mixing and kneading spices with crushed bark of the tabuko tree, which belongs to the Lauraceae family. Incense sticks are made from this. The kneaded balls left over after incense sticks are made have no commercial value and are discarded. However, after thinking about how they could be put to good use, the idea of ​​making incense seals came to mind. I thought this would also be connected to the goals of the SDGs. The unnecessary materials left over after incense sticks are kneaded and recycled again. I thought that this would create a material that many people could enjoy the scent of. There are incense (ink) making sets that offer it in powder form. However, they are expensive, and it is difficult for anyone to easily obtain them, and it takes time to make them. In order for everyone to make their own scent, I came up with an incense making set with the keywords "easy, inexpensive, and relaxing." Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] When incense sticks are made from kneaded balls, scraps are produced. Traditionally, scraps are discarded. If these scraps can be re-kneaded and reused, and if we can break away from the idea that kneaded balls = incense sticks, we thought we could increase the number of new ways to enjoy fragrance. Therefore, we decided to concretely realize a new way to use kneaded balls, focusing on making incense sticks. Our challenges are how to store kneaded balls and how to utilize kneaded balls by creating an incense stick making kit. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] In order to extend the shelf life of the kneaded balls, they are vacuum-packed either as kneaded balls themselves or in containers. In addition, the kneaded balls remaining after making incense sticks are scented. (Kneaded balls are named "incense base"). Furthermore, the incense making set is a vacuum-packed set that includes kneaded balls named "incense base", a roller or rolling pin, cutters, incense sample, and instructions on how to make it, all in one package. This set is called an "incense making set" and is manufactured and sold to solve the problem. Effect of the Invention

[0005] Reprocessing the scraps after incense production or changing the way "Keridama" is used can lead to diversification of the use of "Keridama". Furthermore, by vacuum-packing "Keridama" and storing it in a refrigerator, the expiration date can be extended and it can be stored for a long time.

[0006] The set includes the kneaded balls, a roller, a cutter, incense samples, and instructions on how to make them, so you can easily experience making incense at home. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0008] The scraps left over from the incense stick manufacturing process are collected, re-kneaded into kneaded balls, and vacuum-packed.

[0009] The vacuum-packed dough balls are packaged together with a roller or rolling pin, cutters, incense sample, and instructions for making, and then vacuum-packed again. EXAMPLES

[0010] An embodiment will be described below with reference to the attached drawings. Figure 1 shows an example in which kneaded balls 1 of incense base are cut into pieces of a size suitable for home use, for example, pieces of incense base (amount and size) of 16 mm thick x 100 mm long x 37 mm wide, weighing about 80 grams, and vacuum-packed in plastic bags 11.
