In Japan, Sanskrit characters have been mystified and revered as sacred due to their association with esoteric Buddhism. Since ancient times, Sanskrit characters have been said to have sacred and spiritual power within themselves. It is said that a single Sanskrit character represents the gods and Buddha, confers various merits, and has the power to save from disaster. ◆Sandalwood Sandalwood has been used for thousands of years in religious rituals in India and China, and in Australian Aboriginal medicine. Buddhist monks smelled sandalwood before meditation, and Australian Aborigines used it to relax and improve concentration. The earliest record of agarwood in Japan is that fragrant wood was washed ashore on Awaji Island about 1,500 years ago, and it is said that agarwood was introduced to Japan. When he put a piece of wood that had drifted ashore into a fire, it gave off a pleasant aroma, so he presented it to the imperial court. Since then, it is said to have been used in religious ceremonies and by powerful people to enjoy the scent.
