Let's enjoy a special time at Daisho-in which is considered to be the oldest temple in Miyajima of Aki.
"Kodo" (Incense burning) is an example of Japanese Geido (art) that appreciate the fragrance rising from Koboku (fragrant wood) burned according to traditional rituals.
It is also called "ko-asobi" means a game with incense, when several types of incense are offered to participants to guess.
Each type of incenses has a title related to seasons or celebrations and in this game players must distinguish and differentiate various types of incense on scent. It is more important to enjoy the aroma than to win or lose.
After kodo game, you can enjoy matcha tea with traditional
sweets.
From ancient times there is a specific meaning in etiquette of drinking tea and eating sweets.
After a detailed explanation by the instructor, we believe that your match tea and sweets bring more joy.
Kōdō is counted as one of the three Japanese Arts of Refinement (Geido).
In addition to a kodo game, trying matcha-tea with traditional sweets would make you sense the elegance.
The course is conducted by an instructor Kosai Yamasaki, an expert with 50 years of experience at Daisho-in kodo school.
香道の歴史は595年、推古天皇の時代からあるとされ、もともと香木を炊くことは仏教に深くかかわっています。
大聖院は京都仁和寺の院室に当たるため、古くから香道香流が伝えられ、大聖院が家元として広島に広められたものです。
香席では、独特な作法に加え、香元がお手前をする香道具一式を入れる「乱箱〈みだればこ〉」や「菱盆〈ひしぼん〉などの道具も必見です。
The history of Kodo is 595 Year It is said that it was from the time of Emperor Emperor, and originally cooking Kogi is deeply related to Buddhism.
Daishoin Kyoto Since it hits the Ninna-ji Temple's chamber, Kodo Koryu has been passed down since ancient times. Hiroshima It was spread to.
At the incense seat, in addition to the unique manners, tools such as “Ranbox” and “Hishibon”, which contain a set of incense tools in front of Kamoto, are a must-see.
After the game with scents, you will have a relaxing time over matcha-tea with traditional sweets.
Take sweets first, then drink tea for the better taste.
Traditional sweets are usually served on kaishi (double-folded paper), the meaning of double-folding, the etiquette of how to divide a piece of sweets before putting it into your mouth,
how to hold a tea bowl, how to drink and so on.
We will explain each manner and its meaning step by step.

In kodo Japanese say “listening” to the incense, not “smelling” it. ④ Please hand in your answer sheet. ⑤ We will announce the correct answer in the end. |
