Beschrijving
Discover Kodo, the Japanese incense ceremony, at Nijo Castle in Kyoto. Learn about Kodo’s history and role in Japanese culture, and experience the art of listening to incense with a Kodo master.
Step into the serene world of Kodo, the Japanese art of appreciating incense, at Nijo Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This workshop, led by a Kodo master, offers a rare opportunity to experience the refined elegance of the Kan'ei era through the art of "listening" to incense.
Begin by learning the traditional techniques of Kodo, including how to appreciate the subtle differences between various types of incense wood, such as kyara, jinko, and sandalwood. As you compare the aromas, immerse yourself in the mindful practice of "listening" to the incense, a meditative experience that sharpens your senses and focuses your mind.
Held in the tranquil setting of Nijo Castle, this workshop provides a unique chance to connect with Japan's rich cultural heritage. As you engage in the elegant game of kumikō, guessing the differences between incense scents, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the historical and cultural significance of Kodo.
At the end of the workshop, take home a small incense souvenir, allowing you to incorporate the calming presence of incense into your daily life. Whether you use it to scent your home, enhance your meditation practice, or simply enjoy its soothing aroma, this memento will serve as a lasting reminder of your journey into the world of Kodo.
