NathanU finished reading The Fragrant Path by Michael Cousineau
A great introduction to the history of Japanese incense, Kōdō ceremony, how to use Japanese incense, and the philosophical and cultural underpinnings of the practice of making and appreciating incense. A worthwhile read for any incense lover, or any fragrance enthusiast interested in understanding the original mode of capturing and sharing fragrances, long before they could be bottled, through the perspective of what is perhaps the world's most venerated incense culture. #incense @incense@a.gup.pe
