Kodo, which is Japanese incense ceremony Kodo, or incense ceremony is an important traditional art in japan like tea ceremony, and flower arrangement. I have learned about Kodo for one year in my collage. So I’m going to introduce about Japanese incense ceremony. Incense ceremony is traditionally carried out in the Koh room, with a master of ceremonies, and a small group of participants. Most incense ceremonies involve a game, in which participants attempt to guess which scent is being burned. There are hundreds of variations of these incense games. Overall, incense ceremony is about having fun with fragrance, and learning to 'listen' to incense. You don’t have to be an experienced 'nose' to enjoy Kodo. The important thing is to appreciate the incense. In Japan, we have mind which is respect for everything, and appreciate everything. We respect and appreciate not only people but also nature and foods. The mind is the reason which is our “omotenashi” is famous in the world. If I work in foreign countries, I want to tell the world about Japanese mind.
