What
does Kodo offer contemporary Westerners? Kodo offers westerners the same things it does in Japan: the enjoyment of playing a game with others in a social setting, a peaceful retreat from busy life, opportunity for mindfulness practice, a soothing time to wash away the thoughts of the day, and the discovery of the many pleasures of one of the world’s most treasured aromatics; agarwood/aloeswood.

What's your advice to get started? Anyone can begin to learn more about Kodo with easily obtained books from your local bookstore or library. Two we recommend are: The Book of Incense: Enjoying the Traditional Art of Japanese Scents - by Kiyoko Morita (ISBN 4-7700-2389-8) Kodo: The Way of Incense - by David Pybus (ISBN 0-8048-3286-2) If not soon after reading through this website, then certainly after reading these two books, you'll be ready to begin playing your own incense games with friends and family. |
Where does the novice go to learn more?
There is some wonderful additional information on Kodo found at www.japanese-incense.com.
Information on historical Kodo lineages and more can be found in the Yahoo! Internet Group, Alice’s Restaurant.
