Title: Book of Incense
Product review: This book is primarily on Japanese incense and the Japanese Incense Ceremony, it is not about incense in general and especially about "making incense."There are really only two books in English on the subject, and I find promotions of other incense books not related to this subject personally objectionable and innapropriate.The presentation is wonderful, and it is an excellent treatment of the subject for the English speaking reader. It should be of particular interest to those interested in the Japanese Incense ceremony.Ms. Kiyoko Morita takes the reader on a wonderful tour of the history of the "Incense Culture" in Japan. She takes the complex and extensive subject of Kodo (The Way of Incense) and skilfully organizes the most important areas.You may not master the art of kodo from reading this book, but all the information is there to learn how to enjoy incense prepared kodo style, as well as how to give an incense party, and begin understanding the associated culture.
