Nippon Kodo - Koh Incense - Water Drop
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.
Public bathhouses called yuya thrived during the Edo period. Around the time that towns built their own yuya bathhouses, people occasionally enjoyed small banquets after basking in the hot water. To this day, the style of yuya bathhouses is preserved through sento and onsen in Japan. This incense has a fragrance that brings to mind the warm steam from hot water, and the gentle aroma from your skin after stepping out of a bath. Made in Tokyo, Japan.
