The Fine Art of Japanese Incense

The fine art of Japanese Incense "Kodo," is one the most vital facets of the Japanese culture. According to records Kanjin, Chinese scholar and monk, brought the culture of incense to Japan while visiting to propagate Buddhism during the Tang Dynasty. As a result of the constraints of the Japanese living standards and the environment, using incense was restricted to the worshipping of Buddha while in the temple, and occasionally scenting rooms and clothes. However, the incense culture hadn't yet extended into daily living.
