Culture to listen to fragrant incense
The incense culture in Japan is described in Chronicles of Japan in April 595 as "sinking water drifted ashore on Awaji Island", and it is believed that it was transmitted from the continent when Buddhism was introduced.
When you enjoy tea and incense in offering, you will be able to show your existence and appreciate it.
In the Edo era, the identification classification of "Rokugoku" from the production area of incense and "Gomi" of spicy, sweet, acid, salt, and bitterness, which compared the taste to taste, was completed.
By the way, I visited a long-established incense store that has a history of fragrance since it was founded in Kyoto in 1705 during the Edo period.
Last month, the fresh greenery of willow trees was relocated and reopened on Nishi Ginza Street, which conveys the air of early summer.
Inside the store, it is full of calm elements, such as the scent that spreads quietly from the place where you can smell your favorite incense.
In incense, incense is expressed as "listening". There is also a description in the passage of Manyoshu that exhibited Reiwa.
Why don't you look for the fun of listening to the scent?
