Incense has long been synonymous with Japanese culture. It was first introduced to the country by a Buddhist priest in 745AD, borrowed from the religious practices of ancient Egypt, where it was burnt at temples three times a day as an offering to the gods.

After receiving the last e mail from Marina and Des I realised they also stocked this Japanese incense and I learned that the Japanese have the art of “listening” to incense – Kodo. I knew about the forest bathing but hadn’t heard of this till Essential Spirit’s e mail came whizzing in. Thank you for enlightening us and for supplying this lovely incense.
