“Incense Day Fair” at Kohgen store in Nagoya!
Do you know that April 18th (Tue.) is the Incense Day?
You probably wonder why this particular day is the Incense Day.
In Japanese incense is written with the character: 香
When you disassemble this character into its parts you will have 一十八日 which stands for 18th day. What is more, according to the Nihonshoki (The Chronicles of Japan), Jinsui Koboku (fragrantwood sinking in water) has arrived to Japan for the first time in April.
This is why April 18th has become the Incense Day.
Each year in this particular day we held “Incense Day Fair” at Kohgen store in Nagoya.
This time the event will start on April 1st and will continue till May 7th!
What is more, this year is Kohgen`s 80th Anniversary! We are very grateful to our Customers, so we are planning this event to express our gratitude for you. Feel free to visit our store!
Kohgen store in Tokyo (Ginza) and a new store which we are going to open at Maker`s Pier will also take part, so the event will be very lively.
