• Neriko (incense sticks), a type of black, pill-shaped incense commonly used during the Heian period, is depicted in the Tale of Genji, where Hikaru Genji, Murasaki no Ue, and other characters actually create and comment on them. Even today, it's known as one of the six types of incense. It's also used in the winter tea ceremony before the charcoal burning. Neriko isn't meant to be used at room temperature; it's meant to be warmed and enjoyed for its aroma. Place lit charcoal in an incense burner filled with ashes, then place the neriko on top of the warm ashes, enjoying the aroma that wafts through the air. As you warm the ashes with the charcoal, enjoy the relaxing time and space, along with the aroma. It's also recommended for use before welcoming guests. We provide boxes and bags for takeaway, as well as charcoal and incense burner ash for use at home.
• Enjoy the gentle, subtle fragrance.
• This plan allows you to make approximately 20 pieces of incense sticks, which you can take home with you on the day.
• The instructors create scents and official merchandise for various works, and also exhibit at artisan exhibitions.
• The instructor's recent creative work includes creating scented sachets to give away in the magazine issue of Akatsuki no Yona, which is currently being serialized in Hana to Yume, creating official merchandise for social games such as Namu Amida Butsu! and Alice Closet, and creating fragrances using Japanese scents (such as the music CD release concert for Onmyoji, a novel by Baku Yumemakura, and a super techno memorial service x Kogen), and she is also working to spread a new world of Japanese scents as a traditional culture from a unique female perspective.
• The fun of turning images into fragrances
• The interesting thing about Japanese fragrances is that they are not complete with just your favorite things. Also, during the Heian period, people began to express the seasons and scenery they felt through intangible incense, and then play around by smelling and comparing different scents. In this class, you will freely create your own image and turn it into a fragrance while considering the balance. 90% of the fragrance blending will be thought up by the instructor, so don't worry, even if you're a beginner! You will then complete your own fragrance by checking whether it matches your own image.
