THE ART OF LOCAL INCENSE MAKING
TAIWAN AROMA HUB
This is a story of an encounter. Zhen Yu, a craftsman dedicated to local revitalization and sustainable materials, met HAYA, an artisan specializing in handmade Taiwanese artisan incense, in Hualien. From this meeting, a vision was born.
All materials come from Hualien's mountains, rivers, and seas. We collaborate with botanists through workshops and participatory research, gathering plants from riversides, forests, and fields, blending Eastern traditional craftsmanship with native botanicals. This handmade incense is more than a product, it is a journey of shared resonance with Hualien, a connection between land and people.
Scents remember the direction of the wind; plants tell the stories of the land. We believe that even when far from Hualien, this gentle Taiwanese artisan incense can carry you into the soul of the place.

isvara: Handcrafted Clothing Born from Companionship and the Earth
The story of isvara begins with a journey home for "companionship." When founder Isis's mother fell ill, she decided to move back south to care for her. This journey home led her to rediscover her path in fashion design, returning to her original passion for plant dyeing.
She insists on creating in the most earth-friendly way, sourcing local natural materials from across Taiwan. Through a gentle handcrafted clothing process, she collectively treats the land beneath our feet with greater kindness.
Every piece conveys spiritual ease and tranquility, allowing you to wear a blessing from the earth.
