Oedo-Koh Incense - Water drop

In the Edo Period (1603-1868) people didn’t have baths at home, and public bathhouses were built to meet the need. There were about 600 in Edo. At first they were steam baths, then large bathtubs were developed. As all were naked and people comingled without regard for age, gender, or rank, the bathhouse was an egalitarian place. Apparently another popular item was a scented lotion made with floral essences distilled using a still known as a ranbiki. This fragrance has the warmth and friendly glow of the moment you step out of the bath. The bustle of the bathhouse, where neighbors laugh and splash together. A warm and friendly fragrance for after bathtime.
