Incense: Kyoto

For over 5000 years people all over the world have been burning incense in order to honor their ancestors, purify the air, symbolize the ascent of prayer, accompany rituals or simply make one feel positive. All the various functions of incense, coupled with their evocation of time and place, inspired Comme des Garçons to create Series Incense.

Kyoto, a spiritual journey across the world from the serene temples of Kyoto, Japan. Serene, meditative and earthy temples and gardens nestle amongst the legendary cypress trees.
