Incienso Koh Do Agar 20 Sticks
Koh Do Agar - Recollection and Awareness
Also called aloe, oud, jinkoh or kyara, agarwood lies for years in silent communion with the earth to create a deep, exquisite and mysterious aroma. In the Japanese tradition, it is one of the woods used in the Koh Do ceremony, the ancient traditional art of incense appreciation, as evoked by the design of the box.

Description
The design of the box is inspired by an ukiyo-e print by Chöki (1780-1809), which shows the geisha Mizue enjoying the fragrance of incense offered to her by her attendant Moto. In Japan, the most prestigious geisha were not only required to have excellent appearance and manners, but also to be versed in Cha-do tea ceremony, Ka-do flower arrangement, Koh-do incense ceremony, Haikai, Waka poetry, Sho-do calligraphy, Go and Sugoroku, because they had to attend social and business meetings, and sometimes had to deal with aristocrats, Meishu (the highest ranking officials in Japan) and literati. In fact, they possessed the highest level of culture that even the sons of aristocratic families could not reach.
