(15.24 × 30.16 × 20.32 cm), Wood, lacquer, gold; metal utensils, Japan, 17th-18th century, Incense played a prominent role in aristocratic culture of ancient Japan.

In the 1400s, this artful appreciation of incense developed further into the so-called Way of Fragrance, or kd, along with the Way of Tea (sad or chad) and the Way of Flowers (kad, better known in the West as ikebana).
