# Event Details - **Event Name**: The Way of Incense: Traditional Japanese Kodo Ceremony (Genji-kō) - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 16 Nov, 2025 at 12:00 pm – Sun, 16 Nov, 2025 at 04:00 pm - **Event Description**: Join us for a Japanese Kodo ceremony, where we explore the art of incense appreciation in the traditional styleAbout this EventDiscover Genji-kō: The Ancient Japanese Incense GameGenji-kō is an ancient Japanese incense game from the Heian period, where fragrance becomes both play and meditation.In this formal ceremonial experience, you will “listen” to several carefully prepared incenses, each one subtle, each one distinct. Instead of seeing or tasting, you will awaken your sense of smell, comparing the fragrances and noticing the patterns they create. Historically, these patterns were linked to chapters of The Tale of Genji, Japan’s classic literary masterpiece. Today, they serve as a path to mindfulness, presence, and deeper awareness.The benefit of Genji-kō is not only in the refinement of your senses but in the way it changes your state of being. In this experience, the presentation will be minimal. You will be invited to sharpen your focus, quiet your mind, and discover a meditative calm where even the smallest nuance holds meaning. It is at once a playful game and a profound journey—a bridge between art and spirit.Join us for Genji-kō and discover subtle beauty, inner stillness, and the timeless Way of Incense.Guided by John Launius, a recognized fragrance expert of over 40 years and Master of Ceremonies (Kōmoto) in the Japanese incense tradition, this session provides a rare opportunity to experience the profound art of Kōdō. Participants will deepen their sensory awareness and gain insight into a cultural practice that harmonizes the senses, spirit, and tradition. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/newport-beach/the-way-of-incense-traditional-japanese-kodo-ceremony-genji-kō/100001955664287529 - **Event Categories**: art, health-wellness, literary-art, meditation - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 193.92, max: 193.92, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Newport Beach - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Village Tea Hut - **lat**: 33.6252804 - **long**: -117.9276491 - **full address**: Village Tea Hut, 361 Old Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Way of Incense: Traditional Japanese Kodo Ceremony (Genji-kō) - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/ba961874412a347c9f870405ddda729cc0ac077e37f0654d46c1101126bbcad9-rimg-w1200-h822-dcddd2be-gmir.jpg?v=1762849230 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Way of Incense: Traditional Japanese Kodo Ceremony (Genji-kō) being held? - **A:** The Way of Incense: Traditional Japanese Kodo Ceremony (Genji-kō) takes place on Sun, 16 Nov, 2025 at 12:00 pm to Sun, 16 Nov, 2025 at 04:00 pm at Village Tea Hut, 361 Old Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for The Way of Incense: Traditional Japanese Kodo Ceremony (Genji-kō)? - **A:** Tickets for The Way of Incense: Traditional Japanese Kodo Ceremony (Genji-kō) are priced at USD 194 per person.
