Oedo-Koh Incense Made in Tokyo

The "Ten Virtues of Koh" is a list of the benefits derived from the use of incense. These Ten Virtues have been passed down from the fifteenth century (the Japan's Muromachi Era) and are still cited today as uniquely capturing the spirit of Koh. In Japan, there was a time called Edo, which lasted 260 years from the 1600s to the 1800s. People of different classes, such as samurai, peasants, craftsmen, and tradesmen, created their own culture during this time.In particular, people of Japan’s capital city at the time, Edo (today’s Tokyo), enjoyed the four seasons and the company of other people, giving life to a culture brimming with vitality. This saw the emergence of words like iki.Iki was used to describe things like a gentleman’s mindset such as when men amuse themselves, the allure of a mature lady, or simple attire that enshrouded glamour beneath. The spirit of iki is still revered amongst the intellectual fashionistas in Japan. Iki represents an urban "dandyism" of the Edo era. Tha
