This is Kanako Yoshida from YOUYOUANG.

How are you doing?

The most pleasant season of the year has arrived, with a refreshing breeze. I remember when I was a child, I said, "When I grow up, I want to be a koinobri (carp-shaped big windsock flown for Children’s Day on May 5). " My mother looked bewildered and said, "That's impossible." (laughs) Well, I suppose it just looked that comfortable, fluttering in the wind.

The flowers in the garden and the cats are also enjoying the season. While I would love to savor the blessings of nature a bit longer, the cherry blossoms have come and gone, and now it is time for us to prepare for the summer sales season.

We have created a new "Negative Ion Incense - Thick Bottle.” The package design features imagery of water and waves to match the incense’s transparent and refreshing scent.

This product will also be available in the "Nei" line. I think the cool aesthetic makes it the perfect choice for summer gift. Nei version also includes an incense holder.

Our popular “Natural Insect Repellent Incense Stick,” made with all-natural ingredients, is also back. It also comes with a sturdy incense holder, so you can use it with peace of mind. It is thick and long, ideal for relaxing moments on the balcony. "The scent is lemongrass-like, bringing to mind mountains and fields, and contains no artificial fragrances."

“Natural Insect Repellent Incense Coil” will not be available this season—our apologies. We will make a new design of "mosquito repellent incense burner", so we hope to introduce Incense Coil once a new incense burner is ready.


It is the most refreshing season of the year. Wishing you an especially active and uplifting time. Yes, I will try to do the same. (laughs)

Lastly, Daigo, a local community cat, made a surprise appearance while we were photographing flowers. Although he is usually shy, his curiosity got the better of him. He watched us intently from behind the blossoms, clearly intrigued by our photo shoot.
