YOTSUTSUJI Hideki: Incense Wood and Incense Utensils Inherited by the Owari Tokugawa Family

Yotsutsuji Sensei provided an overview of the Tokugawa Art Museum collections, with a focus on the numerous objects related to incense culture. The presentation offered a tantalizing taste of the spectacular holdings, which range from substantial quantities of famous aromatic woods that had been collected personally by Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun of the Edo period, to gorgeous lacquerware utensils and furnishings that were used by shogunal princesses and members of the shogunal household.
