Odai Himeshara Branches with Forest Fragrance

Product Description

The Himeshara Reed Diffuser is a different kind of home fragrance.

Made in Odai Town, Mie Prefecture, it combines a minimalist glass bottle with natural Himeshara branches gathered from the surrounding forest. The branches act as part of the diffusion system while giving the piece its distinctive, sculptural shape.

The fragrance draws on the region's woody, green character, with Japanese forest botanicals including cedar, cypress, and kuromoji contributing to its layered scent profile. The result is fresh and grounded rather than sweet or heavily perfumed.

Each set includes the fragrance liquid, natural Himeshara branches, diffuser sticks, and a glass vessel. Because the branches are natural, their shape varies slightly from one set to another.

Placed in a living room, entrance hall, study, or bedroom, the diffuser works quietly in the background while adding the look and scent of the Japanese forest to the room.

A simple object, but one with a strong sense of place.

 Keep it out of reach of children, and rinse skin immediately with cool or lukewarm water if the liquid makes contact.

FAQs

All you need to know about Odai Home Diffusers.

What makes Odai essential oil diffusers unique?

Odai diffusers are handcrafted using natural materials sourced directly from the forests of Odai Town, Mie Prefecture—a UNESCO Eco Park. Paired with 100% natural essential oils extracted from local trees, each diffuser reflects the purity, craftsmanship, and environmental harmony of the region.

Are natural diffusers safe to use around children or pets?

Yes, as long as you use 100% natural essential oils and follow safety guidelines. Always keep diffusers out of reach of children and pets. Avoid direct skin contact or ingestion.

How should I care for my diffuser?

Keep your diffuser in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. If it’s made of wood, let it dry fully between uses and avoid washing it with water. You can switch scents, but it's best to dedicate each diffuser to one type of oil to preserve the aroma’s purity.

How are the essential oils and aromatic waters produced?

All essential oils and aromatic distilled waters are produced using a traditional steam distillation method, which gently extracts fragrance compounds without the use of chemicals or solvents. The raw materials—branches, leaves, and wood—are carefully selected and harvested by hand by the Miyagawa Forestry Association, based in Odai Town. This method preserves the purity and complexity of the natural forest aromas, resulting in high-quality, 100% natural scents sourced directly from one of Japan’s most pristine environments.

How long does the scent last when using the essential oil with a natural diffuser?

On average, the scent from the essential oil will gently diffuse for about 1.5 months when used with a natural, passive diffuser such as wood or unglazed ceramic. Longevity may vary depending on room temperature, ventilation, and the amount of oil applied, but regular use with a few drops at a time ensures a continuous, subtle aroma throughout the space.
