Its approach is broad and eclectic. Morita encourges us to choose from among the elements of Japanese olfactory history, and to borrow the parts we like and use them as we see fit. The book of Incense fosters a new awareness of the importance of scent, and provides a fund of ideas for making optimal use of the sense of smell in our everyday lives." At 134 pages packed full of information, photos, diagrams, and instructions on how to make, use and appreciate incense; everything you ever wanted to know about incense is here.
