The scent of wood
The Japanese coniferous fragrance has been respected from ancient times by people.
However, in the latest research, the fragrance of the tree has begun to know that it was a communication tool that is words.
Light of the land which grew up, wind, water, soil and relationship with around of trees.
An animals, an insect and the relation with bacteria, it is sublimated to a fragrance.
What does the human being listen to the words with?
I think that it is an opportunity to listen carefully calmly.
