Insect Repellent
Insect Repellent
“Bouchuukou” (insect repellent) is made of fragrant wood, and is used to protect a “kakejiku” (hanging scroll) from insect damage. Other repellents, such as naphthalene, may damage a kakejiku.
It is recommended to change once every 2 to 3 years.
It is effective while you can smell its fragrance so please change when the fragrance completely disappears.

Put the bouchuukou into the paulownia box.
Please do not put a bouchuukou directly onto/under your hanging scroll to avoid any trouble that may arise.
One sheet of paper/cloth between the hanging scroll and the bouchuukou would be perfect as shown in the left picture.
