• Create your own original incense sticks using only powdered natural ingredients, such as sandalwood, bornole, and clove, to create the scent you imagine! In Buddhism, zuko is a powdered incense used by monks in the palm of their hands as a purifying scent. Among Japanese incense sticks, which are used to transfer scents to other objects, zuko is the only one that is applied directly to the body. In ancient times, people would collect the first morning dew from lotus leaves, dissolve sandalwood in the water, and apply it to the body. Unlike liquid incense sticks, zuko is powdered, making it less volatile and less likely to diffuse, making it a convenient fragrance to use discreetly. It's also recommended for relaxing between work breaks. Since you only need to use a small amount, it's also perfect for those who want something to wear but don't want a strong scent in public. Note: Some sects, such as Zen, do not use zuko sticks.
• Enjoy the gentle, subtle fragrance.
• The finished incense will be placed in a zip-lock PP bag for you to take home 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.
