Japanese incense made only from natural Japanese ingredients is rare these days.
 
This incense is made in the old fashioned way, in a 100+ year old wooden mill that sits next to a river in the mountains.
 
Here, the 4th generation maker Tsutsumi-san carries on the dying tradition of incense powder making using a mill that pulverizes cedar and tabu leaves into powder through the night.
 
This incense powder is then mixed with fresh well water and made into a paste, which is pressed through a machine to make long strands of incense that look like pasta.
 
These are cut into the proper length before getting air dried for a day or two.
 
There used to be some 20 such mills in Yame, making natural incense powder from locally-collected tabu and cedar, but today this is one of only 2 left.

如今，僅用日本天然原料製成的日本香已經很少見了。
這種香是用古老的方法製作的，是在一座位於山間河流旁、擁有100多年曆史的木製磨坊裡製作的。
 
在這裡，第四代製香師堤先生繼承了瀕臨失傳的製香傳統，他使用一台磨機，在夜間將雪松和塔布葉磨成粉末。 然後，將這種香料粉末與新鮮的井水混合，製成糊狀物，再透過機器壓製成細長的香料絲，看起來像義大利麵。 它們被剪成合適的長度，然後風乾一兩天。
 
八女市以前有大約 20 家這樣的製香廠，用當地採集的木和雪松製作天然香料粉，但如今只剩下兩家了。
