Shoyeido, Morning Star, and Scents of Blossom
Brought to Japan in the Sixth century by Buddhist monks who used the mystical aromas in their purification rites, the delicate scents of Koh (Japanese high quality incense) became a source of amusement and entertainment with nobles in the Imperial Court during the Heian Era 200 years later. What the Japanese call Koh-Do, or incense appreciation, has long been the spiritual nourishment of Japanese culture. Modern practitioners of this elegant art now use incense to enhance the ambiance of their homes or offices, to entertain guests, to celebrate special occasions, to relax the body and calm the mind after a trying day and to soothe tired nerves before retiring. From the Nippon Kodo incense Morning Star to Shoyeido, there are a wide variety of extremely high quality Japanese incenses available in any number of elegant scents.
