Japanese Incense :
Among the many delights and surprises of nature is fragrance. Whether
entering a pine forest, or coming upon a fragrant jasmine or wild
rose, one is often amazed at the subtlety and joy of scent.
Fragrance creates mood. It can be relaxing and soothing to the psyche
or provide clarity and energy. Opening oneself completely to the fragrance
is called "Listening to Incense" in Japan. With the variety
of scents available, one can discover an unexpected world of pleasure.For
centuries, people have used the
natural aromas of nature to soothe, to create atmosphere and to enliven
space. |

Whether for meditation and quiet reflection or for creating
