The Significance of Offering Incense
Offering incense is said to be a way to communicate with Buddha through the smoke. While it may have the meaning of purifying oneself or serving as a meal for the Buddha, the most significant meaning is calming one's mind with the pleasant fragrance and allowing one to face the Buddha.
Additionally, it is said that incense offerings at Buddhist altars are done three times to signify devotion to Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha (Buddha: Shakyamuni Buddha; Dharma: the scriptures that expound the teachings of Buddha; Sangha: the monks who spread the teachings of Buddha).
Although this varies depending on the sect, it is common to light three incense sticks, following the example of Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha.
Culture and Technology, Their Inheritance and Creation
Equipped with fire and tools, humans gave birth to civilization, and the history of fragrance began at that time.
One day, a fragrance rose by chance from a flame that continued to burn to sustain a precious fire.
People sensed mystery and power in it, entrusting it to prayers and wishes as something beyond human understanding. Today, incense is burned at places of worship around the world.
Incense is also found in places where excitement and peace are sought.
Incense is a modern-day supreme spiritual culture and a culture of enriching daily life.
Dating back 4,000 years to ancient India. Fragrance cultures, which developed independently in the East and the West, reunited in Japan, blending and continuing to evolve with new creations.
Now, the world is uniting around the incense culture perfected in Japan, with fragrance as a common language. The History of Japanese Fragrance
Japan's fragrance culture has been nurtured over the course of over a thousand years.
The history of fragrance in Japan began with the introduction of Buddhism in the 6th century.
By burning fragrant woods and fragrant Asian and Chinese plants, people entrusted their prayers and wishes to the fragrant scent.
While these religious rituals spread, the practice of burning incense became part of the elegant lifestyles of the nobility. During the Muromachi period, the scent game of guessing which fragrant woods were burned developed into an art form, giving birth to the "art of incense."
In the Edo period, incense-making techniques further developed and were incorporated into the lives of ordinary people.
The incense used today is part of this long history of incense. Research & Development
