At Aroma Workshop Konomiya, you can experience making cosmetics and incense using essential oils blended with natural plants without using any synthetic fragrances. Maki Sakai, a representative of Itoshima City, has built a trailer next to the atelier and holds a free event called “Kodomono Ie Terakoya Island” on Saturdays focusing on food education, agriculture, and learning. Sakai is expanding the local support network through various activities and already planning a new project to preserve the original landscape of Itoshima for the next generation.
Spreading the Charm of Natural Ingredients Through Original Aroma Cosmetics and Incense Making
Surrounded by mountains and beautiful countryside landscapes, Itoshima-Shima area. The “Kao Workshop” run by Maki Sakai, a storyteller of “Aozora Mountain Night”, is located overlooking Mt. Kagaoya, also known as Itoshima Fuji, offering a distinctive conical shape against the clear blue sky in the background.
Greeted with an innocent smile, chickens happily hopping around the garden caught the attention of Sakai.
Prior to this, Sakai was a web designer. At the age of 30, during fertility treatments, she became interested in aromatherapy and learned the techniques of an aroma therapist at a vocational school, later opening a salon in Fukuoka City.
“Originally, I had always admired a hidden salon that only accommodates 1-2 people a day, but soon after opening, I had a child. Thinking about future childcare, I realized there was limited space, so I relocated,” she returned to her hometown of Itoshima.
