About this Event
Dōjin Arts is pleased to present an opportunity to engage your senses while learning about kōdō, the Japanese Way of Incense. Join us for a sakura-themed kumikō (incense appreciation exercise), where we will experience and compare several types of highly fragrant woods in a game that incorporates seasonal and literary references.
Led by Hitomi (Tōkō) Ginnan of the Senzan Goryu school, these sessions will be held in the ryūrei 立礼 style -- seated at long tables rather than on tatami mats -- and are suitable for those brand new to kōdō as well as experienced kumikō guests.

Hanami (lit. 花見, "flower viewing") is the Japanese tradition of viewing cherry blossoms and appreciating their transient beauty in the spring. Stroll under the blooming blossoms and enjoy a series of Japanese cultural programs throughout the month of April. Find other O-HANAMI events on our website.
