Koh-Do Genji Incense captures the cool, gentle essence of narcissus, accented with earthy notes of musk and moss. Inspired by the elegant world of The Tale of Genji, this floral fragrance evokes the serene beauty of a palace garden after the rain, where the scent of flowers mingles with the delicate aroma of incense. The soft, soothing blend is completed with a base of sandalwood, creating a balanced, low-smoke experience. Not overpowering, this incense offers a calming atmosphere ideal for introspection or quiet moments. A tribute to Japan's literary masterpiece, it brings a touch of refined elegance to any setting.
The Tale of Genji (Genji Monogatari) is a classic work of Japanese literature, written in the 11th century by the noblewoman Murasaki Shikibu. Often regarded as the world’s first novel, it tells the story of Hikaru Genji, a nobleman at the imperial court, and his romantic and political entanglements. Known as "The Shining Prince," Genji's life is filled with love, loss, and ambition, all set against a backdrop of beautiful courtly life and poetic intrigue. The novel explores themes of fleeting beauty, the passage of time, and the complexities of human emotions, making it a timeless reflection on love and loss in the Heian period.
