kodo is a traditional Japanese practice of appreciating the aroma of incense. It is often performed in a ceremonial setting, where participants engage in a mindful experience of scent, focusing on the qualities and subtleties of different incense types. The practice has deep cultural roots, dating back to the Heian period (794-1185). It is not just about smelling incense; it also involves a meditative aspect, encouraging participants to reflect and connect with their surroundings. Kodo can be enjoyed individually or in groups, making it a unique way to experience the art of fragrance.
