KODO Experience 20270122 51

KODO ( incense ceremony ) is one of Japan's three major arts of refinement.

Experience the highlights of 1500 years of Japanese incense culture and 500 years of incense ceremony in about 90 minutes.

Based on "The Tale of Genji" written in the Heian period, "Genji-kō" is a play on distinguishing between five rare fragrant woods.

It is an elegant game loved by court nobles who listen to the scents from incense burners in turn and apply fragrant wood to it. Even first-timers can enjoy it.

Enjoy a quiet moment to reflect on Japan's fragrance culture and yourself in Ginza, Tokyo.
