Incense Genji Hachisu

Incense Genji series - Hachisu

Enjoy the calm fragrance of the image of the neat and clean lotus flowers soaked in the rain of Sashitomuru Aoi and Shigeki Higashiya.

This incense line is inspired by the first novel in the world: Genji monogatari.

The legendary 'Story of Genji' is one of the cultural milestones in world history. Written by Lady Murasaki in the early 11th century as entertainment for Empress Akiko, this 1,000-year-old masterpiece is a literary record breaker:

the world's first real novel

the first psychological novel

the first historical novel

The story gives a glimpse into Japan 1000 years ago. The Genji line from Shoyeido gives shape to the scenes and beautiful storytelling from Genji Monogatari through subtle scents.
