Awaji Island in 595. A piece of driftwood as large as a bag of rice washed ashore.

When the islanders lit the wood on fire, a wonderful fragrance wafted out and spread throughout the area. This was Agarwood and the beginning of the SCENT of JAPAN (Nihon Shoki, vol. 22)

Six in Sense

Translated as ‘Six Roots’ in Japanese, deriving from a Buddhist term that refers to the five senses; sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch, plus a sixth: consciousness.

And to maintain these six "powers" which most of us are lucky enough to naturally possess - this process of purifying both the mind and body ​is called ‘the Six Roots Cleansing.’
