Abstract

The person distinguishes a fragrance by sense of smell and does life wealthily.

I catch a thing in the five organs of sense (eyes, ear, nose, tongue, the body). I watch a thing with eyes and taste it with a tongue to hear a sound with an ear and touch it by hand and feel form and hardness and heat by the feel. However, it is said that the sense of smell evolves among the five organs of sense least. The fragrance cannot touch that I look either. The world of the fragrance exists in the sensitivity of the person.

This shows that it is infinite. The Japanese completed the culture of this fragrance as accomplishments. This is incense smelling. The incense was conveyed as perfume in the West. The incense was conveyed through a scented wood in the Orient. This article introduces a general view of the incense smelling that has been devised through the history and literature about the incense smelling and the pleasure of the four seasons.

The significant culture about the fragrance was included in the incense smelling that ancient people left mentally materially; is. I know the incense smelling so that we understand incense smelling definitely, and it is important that I experience it and am interested.
