The Incense Rite
Incense is the breath of unseen architecture.
It defines space not through walls,
but through the invisible geometry of air and memory.
To kindle it is to summon presence — of time,
of ancestors, of one’s unspoken longing.
Within the chambers of Shichiken,
incense serves as the axis between the tangible and the divine,
an ancient diplomacy between soul and smoke.
