Nevertheless, I didn't know. Thank you for writing about this particular attention of Japan Ministry of environment to smells and aromas. I haven't lived long enough in Japan to be able to evoke special scents, so precisely associated with a landscape. But I can evoke three captured aromas I like to smell to remember this country : - refined incenses, of course, - green tea - and o-furo. Dear Ad,
