Over the last few days of drawing the sweets, I used up the incense I got in Kyoto. I decided to draw the last stick as it burned down. In Japanese incense ceremony, they say that you listen to incense instead of smelling it. I don't know exactly why they say that, but I've found that just hearing the word listen when I smell the incense causes a greater expansion of the senses. And that's what the character on the side of this incense holder says, listen.
