Culture of listening to Kafuka
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 thought that it was transmitted from the continent by the time of Buddhism introduction.
When you enjoy tea and incense in offering, you will be able to show your existence and appreciate it.
In the Edo period, the classification of "Rokukuni" from the production area of incense and "Gomi" of spicy, sweet, acid, salt, and bitterness, which compared incense to taste, was completed.
By the way, I visited a long-established incense shop that has had a history of aroma since it was founded in Kyoto in 1705 in the Edo period.
Last month, the fresh greenery of willow trees has just been relocated and reopened on Nishi-Ginza Street, where the air of early summer is conveyed.
Inside the store, it is full of calm elements, such as the scent that spreads quietly from the place where you can relax your favorite incense.
In Kodo, incense is expressed as "listening". There is also a description in the section of Manyoshu where Reiwa was exhibited.
Why don't you look for fun to hear the smell?
