Continuation from last time about Frankincense. Last time I told that Frankincense is very historical and sacred.

The incense package is designed with an ancient Egyptian mural said to have been painted 4000 years ago. The mural is painted with a king who dedicates Frankincense to God, and you can feel on the history from ancient Egypt.

In addition, the incense of this frankincense, there is a “Frankincense pure” to enjoy the pure scent of the Frankincense more natural!

This is characterized by a clear scent of frankincense.

Do you know Frankincense?

Frankincense that another name is Oribanamu, which is a resin of tropical evergreen shrubs of Burseraceae Boswellia.By the way, Oribanamu seems to represent “milk” in Arabic.

The origin of frankincense means “true scent” in French. 【Frank (true) + Incense (scent) → Frankincense】

Why is it a true scent … This origin goes back to the ancient Egyptian civilization.

The origin of incense culture is said to be Egyptian civilization 5000 years ago.

In The Old Testament, there is a statement that three kinds of frankincense, golden and myrrh were given as celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.Of the three, it is said that frankincense means the priesthood.

So it has been revered by the people as sacred.It is said that the resin of frankincense was put on the charcoal, and the smoke was emitted.Have you ever seen scene of a priest holding a incense burner with smoke in the church?

The contents of that are burning frankincense.It is still inherited as a sacred scent at the church even today.

Frankincense is origin mainly Oman and Somalia in the Middle East.In particular, Omani’s frankincense is the highest grade and popular.

In Oman, there is a “land of frankincense” where the incense trees spread like a field.And it is registered as a World Heritage.

The smell is a slightly sweet smell with a refreshing feeling. I personally feel the refreshing feeling like watermelon and the smell that woody sweetness melted together. Many customers are attracted to the mysterious warm smell.

It is a scent that Cleopatra and Queen Shiva loved.

Therefore, it is good to enjoy the scent while thinking about the history of ancient civilization.

It is an incense body powder that mixed a sandal wood and several kinds of herbs. This incense was born in India, to help people living in sweaty and hot lands get rid of body odor. It is the beginning that I applied the perfume which I got from the scented wood on my body.

From there, it has been developed as a cleansing aspect of “cleansing the mind and body” and “paying evil and keeping away from it”, and it has been adopted in Buddhism.

In Japan, since long ago, incense body powder has been used when it is difficult to clean hands with water, such as when entering a temple in the middle of a mountain where it is difficult to draw water, or before making a handwritten copy of a sutra.

Reiryoko is an incense used in Eihei-ji temple a famous temple in Japan.

Eihei-ji temple is the main temple of 曹洞宗 Buddhist sect in Fukui Japan.

It is a temple that has been attracting attention both at home and abroad as introduced by the Michelin Guide.

Eihei-ji Temple is a training place for Zen meditation created by Dogen Zenshi(道元禅師).

When Dogen Zensh was 47 years old in 1244, he changed the name of the dojo to Eihei-ji and seemed to enthusiastically teach the Buddhist monks.

Even after nearly 800 years, there is still used as a training life for Buddhist monks.

This incense stick that is famous for being used in the Eihei-ji Temple is Kunmeido Reiryoko.

Although it is inexpensive incense, the formulation is really superb, and its pleasant fragrance spreads around nicely.

Young people who like this smell and use it repeatedly are also increasing.
