You can find basic kodo supplies and ko (wood incense) at <a href="http://www.shoyeido.com/category/aromatic-woods-incense-tools" rel="nofollow">Shoyeido</a>. You can also order The Book of Incense by Kyoko Morita that gives an introduction as well as tells you how to prepare an incense burner.sweetpersimmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02670213698914530826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200088969448098771.post-75099208112350218412015-03-15T17:50:37.613-07:002015-03-15T17:50:37.613-07:00thx Margie, where can one purchase kodo supplies? ...thx Margie, where can one purchase kodo supplies?

You are so lucky to have an incense group in Boston! There are procedures for ko in Urasenke, but mostly it is in the context of the ensemble exercises, one of which is "Shaza". I wouldn't call what we are doing kodo, however. More like ko asobi -- playing with ko, or just kiku oko, or listening to incense. I know that kodo is every bit as disciplined as chado, and that you have to have good brushwriting as well as a good grounding in Japanese literature (also a good nose to distinguish different types of jinko) to play those kodo games. I just like to do it, so my students get a chance now and then to listen to incense.sweetpersimmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02670213698914530826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200088969448098771.post-84802137738054115242015-03-11T20:43:32.292-07:002015-03-11T20:43:32.292-07:00Joe, Thank you for your comment.

You can find more information about it in the book titled, "<a href="http://www.powells.com/biblio/61-9784770030504-0" rel="nofollow">The Book of Incense</a>," by Kiyoko Morita.<br />sweetpersimmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02670213698914530826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200088969448098771.post-63935340433573247032015-03-11T20:09:50.780-07:002015-03-11T20:09:50.780-07:00Wow, is it part of Urasenke to learn a bit of kodo...Wow, is it part of Urasenke to learn a bit of kodo? In Boston there is an incense group and there are tea schools, and though I have participated in both, the two groups haven't had joint events. I love both though, and it is a great idea to write poems after listening. All perfectly fitting, and very ichigo ichie.Tea Apprenticehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11067599950469331315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200088969448098771.post-91328874855957647722015-03-11T19:24:32.024-07:002015-03-11T19:24:32.024-07:00I enjoyed reading this post very much as I have no...I enjoyed reading this post very much as I have not seen too much written on incense and its appreciation. thanks and I wish I were closer- Joe in Cincinnati, OHJoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08270960092225250082noreply@blogger.com
