Product Info

Introduction to Traditional Incense Making at Ryusenji Temple At Ryusenji Temple, you can experience the art of incense making based on ancient traditional methods. Our guide will carefully teach you the process from scratch, so even beginners can participate with peace of mind. Incense is believed to gently stimulate the brain, calm the mind, and purify the space. Take a moment to step away from the daily hustle and bustle and immerse yourself in the world of fragrance. ? What to Bring Your favorite aroma oil (if you have one) We look forward to your participation. Let us spend a quiet and rich time together through fragrance. You can create 5 to 8 pieces in one session. ? Before the Experience — Dharma Talk by a Monk (approx. 10 minutes) Before the incense making begins, a monk will quietly share insights on the benefits and virtues of incense. Since ancient times, incense has been considered a 'bridge of scent' that calms the mind, purifies the space, and connects the Buddha with people. Fragrance holds invisible powers, such as aiding sleep, relaxation, warding off evil, and improving concentration. We hope that through these 'teachings of incense' rarely encountered in daily life, you will feel the depth of this experience.
