Nippon Kodo's Oedo-Koh Collection is inspired by the Edo period of Japanese history which lasted from the 1600's to the 1800's. This era is famous for 'Iki' an urban culture of 'dandyism' that emerged to celebrate a minimalist approach to life that embraced thoughtfulness. This series was created by master incense artisans from modern Tokyo, using fragrance to represent a range of Edo-inspired scenes.
In China, since ancient times, chrysanthemums were believed to be enshrined by a “spirit”. The flower is also considered sacred in Japan, as well as being a symbol of “longevity” because of its long life-span in bloom. This incense is an aromatic rendering of chrysanthemum flowers. The floral scent of chrysanthemums will soothe your spirit and clear your thoughts. Made in Tokyo, Japan.
