KŌGŌ AND NERIKŌ, TREASURES FROM JAPANESE INCENSE
In the art of Japanese incense, the kōgō is a small precious box that preserves and highlights the nerikō, these refined incense pastilles made from precious woods and spices.
EXCEPTIONAL OBJECTS
The shine of gold on black lacquer, bamboo woven like lace, the power of the encounter between earth and fire, and the hands of the craftsmen who shape these objects for eternity. Creations that have magnificently crossed the years or creations of a craftsman of today, they are the icons of timeless Japanese and Korean know-how.
"...weaving on the warp of the night like a damask made of these gold-dust designs."
Junichirô Tanizaki - IN PRAISE OF SHADOWS
