Souhitsu Hachiya, the 21st successor to the Shino School of Incense, sits seiza, the traditional kneeling position, as he describes (through an interpreter) the history and culture of kodo – the Way of Incense. The other participants – students from various Asian nations, a married couple from India, and a few Tokyoites – seem to know as little as I about the subject. Mr. Hachiya and his forebears have dedicated themselves to this practice for over 500 years.
The Shino School of Incense is headquartered in Nagoya. For directions, and information on classes in English, visit: www.shinoryu.jp
Nippon Kōdō is Japan’s largest incense maker today. As well as selling incense, the company also offers a wide range of related services to customers to stimulate demand. “Our business is not solely about selling incense as a product,” Konaka says. “We are interested in everything that comes with it, from offering incense in traditional religious ceremonies to more modern uses in a contemporary setting. Our ambition, you might say, is not just to keep the old traditions alive but to create a new kind of incense culture at the same time by bringing those traditions to new audiences around the world.”
Koudo is the art of appreciating Japanese incense, and involves using incense within a structure of codified conduct. Koudo includes all aspects of the incense process, from the tools to activities such the incense-comparing games kumikō and genjiko. It is counted as one of the three classical Japanese arts of refinement, along with kado for flower arrangement, and Sado for tea and the tea ceremony. It is said to have ten physical and psychological/spiritual benefits or virtues. Fragrances are divided into 5 types; sweet, bitter, spicy hot, sour, and salty.
