Activity Information

Scents?

Originally used for religious ceremonies, incense came to be enjoyed in the daily lives of the upper class during the Heian period.
This gave way for scents to be used on clothes, hair, and rooms of houses. Before long, the scents that were used on clothes became a way of expressing one's self.

The first incense sticks made in Japan

Initially flourishing as a port city, Sakai handled various goods along with aromatic trees and medicinal plants. This spread the incense culture, and manufacturing techniques have been passed down and protected to this day.
