More about katorisenko

Mosquitoes and flies are an annoying problem during the hot and humid Japanese summer and people have for centuries been swatting at the insects during the day and taking refuge under tent-like nets at night. One of the most successful methods of discouraging bites is the use of special insect repellent incense coils called katorisenko. This unique form of incense makes use of a natural plant compound called pyrethrum which is derived from Old World plants of the genus Chrysanthemum. Pyrenthrum has very little effect on mammals and birds though it is a natural nerve poison to insects and will repel and discourage mosquitoes from biting. The compound is naturally biodegradable and will break down readily with prolonged exposure to sunlight and is considered one of the safest insecticides for use around food. The Japanese have developed many unique and interesting incense burners (koro) for use with katorisenko. One of the most popular is the classic pig koro which is shaped like a pig and provides openings at the front and back for smoke ventilation (please see last photo below). We carry several different types of katorisenko within our eBay store The Old Tokaido. The following list gives a brief description of each:

Uzumaki - Traditional green coils for mosquitoes

Haetori Senko - Special formula for mosquitoes and flies

Uzumaki Bien - Lower smoke black coils good for closed spaces

Tennen Jochugiku - Natural brown coils with no artificial color or perfume

widely used in the philippines. in the phils, we call it "katol". lion-tiger katol is one of the most famous brands here. we have larger and longer lasting coils though.

You can soak an MRE fuel tablet (used for cooking meals) in tobasco sauce and it will keep people away too - just like red pepper spray or tear gas - wonder if this coil would work with tobasco sauce?

An Anti-mother inlaw repellent.
