ShotokanKid Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 When I was in Japan to pay visit to my late great grandfather, we burned inscence in front of his picture in a bowl and then put our hands in the praying position with the fingers up and we're supposed to say hello to his spirit.

Taku-Shimazu Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Pine and cedarwood, they are red sticks and they smell like an old Dojo. The cool summer breeze passes me by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phenom Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I think my mum uses inscence sticks sometimes to make the living room smell a lot better, and they do smell really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarrettmeyer Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I love the smell of incense, mainly because it reminds me of Christmas time. Jarrett Meyer"The only source of knowledge is experience."-- Albert Einstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battousai16 Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 y'know, as far as specific uses go, i think the only one i've only ever heard is to mask certain, um... more illegal scents. my dad always got suspicious whenever i burned it...

aefibird Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I use incense, because I like my house to smell nice. I usually use sandalwood, cedar or spiced apple, although eucalyptus is good if you have a cold. I've also used "anti-mosquito" incense when I've been in Africa - but I haven't noticed that it truly worked. I think the mozzies in Ghana must like the smell of it!! "Was it really worth it?
