Mitosaya's first publication is the world's first "burnable poetry collection" printed on special paper.

Poet Sugawara Satoshi, who has attracted attention for his readings both in Japan and abroad and for his own radio program, has released a new work, “Throw fresh fruits into the sky to make lots of stars.” It is a book for the ephemeral, in which you tear out the page you have finished reading, light it with a match, and enjoy the smoke that rises along with the aroma of distilled liquor.

Each piece is like a ticket to an unknown city, and contains 20 pieces that Sugawara Bin wrote while savoring [LEMON POI]. While waiting for the day they will be burned, the scenery of the past and the future quietly smells.

The main text of the book is made of a special type of washi paper with long, thin fibers, so when the paper is set on fire, it burns slowly over time, like incense, in patches, like ocean waves eroding rocks.

By impregnating this paper with mitosaya's LEMON POI, you can now enjoy its subtle fragrance.

Mitosaya has named this series "Scented Poems for Burning" and plans to continue publishing books with a variety of content and scents to enjoy.

mitosaya's first publication is the world's first ""burning poetry book"" printed on special paper.

The new work, ""Throw fresh fruits into the sky to make lots of stars,"" by poet Satoshi Sugawara, who has garnered attention for his reading performances both in Japan and abroad, as well as his own radio program, is a collection of poems that you tear out of the pages you have finished reading. It is a momentary book where you tear up the pages you have finished reading, light them with a match, and enjoy the smoke that rises with the aroma of distilled spirits.

Each page is like a ticket that takes you to an unknown city, and this book contains a total of 20 stories that Satoshi Sugawara wrote while tasting [LEMON POI]. While waiting for the day when it will be burned, scenes of the past and the future quietly scent the air.

The paper used for the text is a special kind of Japanese paper with long, thin fibers. Therefore, when the paper is set on fire, it burns slowly in spots like ocean waves eroding rocks, taking time like incense.

By impregnating this paper with mitosaya's [LEMON POI], we are able to enjoy the faint fragrance.

mitosaya has named this series ""Scented Poems for Burning"" and is planning to produce more publications with various contents and scents in the future.
