From the delicate aroma of cherry Sheik Shrek The Legend Of Zelda shirt . blossoms in spring to the scent of sizzling yakitori and cigarette smoke that spills out of izakayas in the evening, daily life in Japan comes with a head-spinning array of scents.

A lot of fragrances in Japan come from overseas, and so there are very few that are made with Japanese tastes in mind, or that incorporate scents from Japanese nature, Sheik Shrek The Legend Of Zelda shirt . says Masaya Konaka, the founder of home fragrance brand Kurashi no Kaori. It’s a calm November morning, and Konaka is sitting at the end of a large beechwood desk at his brand’s atelier, dressed neatly in a navy suit and a grey marl polo neck. Nestled in Yamanako, a hamlet 100 kilometers west of Tokyo, the atelier functions as both a shop and a workshop, where the staff mill around making candles from soy wax or guiding visitors through a tour of the grounds. Mount Fuji looms impossibly huge through the windows, dusted with snow and wrapped in a sash of cloud. We built the atelier in such a way that Fuji-san is visible from each window, says Konaka, who sourced the plot of land and commissioned the building last year.
