Welcome to Akari to Kaori Hompo

Our store is a specialty shop for 'light' and 'fragrance', operated by Tokai Seiro, a company that has been making candles since its founding in Meiji 10 (1877).

With the 'spirit and sensibility of craftsmanship' cultivated over 150 years, we have carefully selected a range of products centered on 'light' and 'fragrance', as well as items related to traditional Japanese culture.

We deliver products that bring 'peace' and 'special moments' to everyday life through 'prayer' and 'healing'.

We believe our selection of candles, incense, and other fragrance-related products is the best in the world.

The Wish of Akari to Kaori Hompo

Our wish is to make the 'authentic' products created by companies and artisans who have been sincerely engaged in craftsmanship in Japan widely known to people all over Japan and the world.

The candles, incense, 'orin' bells, and prayer beads we handle are made with techniques passed down through a long history, continuous innovation aiming for the best, and a deep commitment and passion.

Our mission and great joy are to spread these proud Japanese products, made by small yet brilliant companies and artisans, both domestically and internationally, along with the culture of 'prayer' and 'healing'.
