However, a lot of people like this maccha's bitter taste.Under Sado rule, “wagashi,”which is traditional Japanese sweet has to be served before serving beautiful from several angle.On the other hand, main kado styles are placing flowers/plants in a tool to secure them to a vase known as “shoka” style and placing fl owers in elongated vase known as “rikka” style. Kado basically aims at making flower look the most beautiful when it is looked at from front angle.This is because flower arrangement used to be ornamented in “tokonoma,” which is an alcove of Japanese room and people look at the arts maccha.There are 2 types in wagashi; one is “omogashi”: wet or thick sweets such as “anko” sweets, which is made of boiled red beans and sugar. Another is “higashi”: dried sweets such as rice cracker.These 2 types of sweets not only bring out maccha's taste, but also make us enjoy feeling the season with their delicate fi gure.Sado is not just tasting green tea, but a fine art sitting seiza (sitting on their heels).But now, since the Japanese architecture style changed and some houses have no “tokonoma,” a new style of kado named “jiyuu-ka,” meaning “free style flower arrangement” has been invented. That means kado itself has been changing with the change of generation.Anyway, it cannot be denied flower arrangement adds comfortable atmosphere to our life.composing design of tea room, taste of sweets, manners for entertaining guests.“Omotenashi,” the Japanese hospitality spirit is based on tea ceremony culture.As one of the best ways to touch Japanese culture, it has been getting popular to experience tea ceremony among foreign tourists.The idea of “calligraphy” helps you to understand Japanese “Shodo.” In general calligraphy, you use ball-point pen or pencil, but under shodo style you use brush (mouhitsu) and liquid black ink (sumi) and draw Kanji (Chinese characters) and Kana (Japanese syllabary characters) artistically.Compared with several shodo arts of the same title, even the same character has some differences in its emphasis, sharpness and boldness in each shodo calligrapher's process of sharpening sensitivity and expressing inner world.In shodo, “Kodo” is the Japanese traditional art of appreciating the delicate difference of fragrance among incense trees called “jinsui-kouboku.” Jinsui-kouboku is made in the process while bacteria gradually decompose old agarwood's resin which is produced when the wood defends itself from insect, rain and wind. When you burn jinsui-kouboku, it gives off the fragrance.Kodo does not use the phrase “kagu (smell)” but use “kiku (listen)” This article introduces Japanese traditional culture: “Kado (flower arrangement),” “Shodo (calligraphy),” “Sado (tea ceremony)” and “Kodo (incense burning).” We are glad that you get more and more interested in Japan through understanding “what these Japanese cultures are,” “what kinds of rules you obey in each culture,” and “how you appreciate each culture.”When you come to Japan, we strongly suggest experiencing these cultures.arts are evaluated by these points: beautifulness of each character, stroke of brush, contrast of ink, balance and meanings of each character etc.Elementary school in Japan has “Shu-ji (handwriting)” class, where students learn how to keep good posture while writing, how to hold a brush, and how to draw beautiful letter as the basic knowledge of “Shodo.” For Japanese, “Shodo” is the basic skill of writing.Writing with brush used to be general culture among samurai and aristocracy. As time goes by it has because kodo is based on the idea that the fragrance talks to heart.When you burn incense, you have to cut the incense tree into bare minimum size, control heat uniformly in order to burn without smoke and enjoy the fragrance.When you “listen to” fragrance, you categorize the fragrance according to “rikkoku-gomi” standard.“Rikkoku” means the category of incense tree, and “gomi” means the 5 types of tastes: “sweet”, “bitter”, “spicy”, “sour”, and “salty.”been reached to mass.But in current era, as computers and ballpoint pen spread, the opportunity of writing with brush has been decreased. However, not a few people even now have “kakizome,” which is an annual event of Japan where people write their wish/goal with brush at the beginning of the year.If you are interested in writing Kanji/Kana character, it is strongly recommended to try shodo.In addition, there is a game of kodo named “kumiko.” At kumiko game, players distinguish several kinds of incense. This game said to be closely connected to the Japanese sensitivity of four seasons, traditional literature and poetry. You can easily understand Japanese “kodo” when it is translated into other countries “perfume.”You can find the school of your choice on your search criteria from our home page.
