Opis
Discover the traditions of the Misen incense school in a Kyoto cultural heritage villa. Distill seasonal botanicals to craft your own unique scent, and relax with a premium matcha experience.
Step into ICHIFUNE, a quiet space within the grounds of Kosei-in, a Rinzai Zen temple normally closed to the public. Here, overlooking its Kyoto City-designated scenic garden, you will turn the season you encounter in Kyoto into your own “Incense Water.”
Please note that the experience does not include entry into the temple building.
Begin with an introduction to the season and Japan’s 24 solar terms. Smell seasonal botanicals and traditional Japanese incense ingredients one by one, then choose the scents that feel right to you.
Place your selected ingredients in a small glass still. As the still is heated, steam slowly rises and returns as drops carrying their natural scents. Waiting for each drop to form is part of the experience. Slow down and enjoy this quiet moment while overlooking the historic garden.
While the distillation continues, enjoy Uji matcha by Jinjiro Yamamoto, made with a deep commitment to a tradition of tencha cultivation spanning more than 700 years, together with a traditional Japanese sweet.
“Incense Water” is inspired by two Japanese traditions: zukō, incense used for purification, and temizu, cleansing with water before entering a sacred space.
At the end, take your Incense Water home and use it when you wish to purify yourself, calm your mind, or quietly reset.
The seasonal ingredients change with Japan’s 24 solar terms, so the same scent is never created twice.
Take home a drop of the season you experienced in Kyoto.
Designed and curated by Misenryu.
