GAME OF PERFUMES.
4 Japanese Amusement Suggests Realms
Of Pleasure.
The Emotional Effects OF CoIors, Too,
Rightly Handled, Are Rich
and Enormous.

The curator of the Burlington Fine
Arts Club of London, England, recently
received a consignment of exquisite
lacquered ware from Japan. Upon
searching through his treasures to find
if there was anything newer or more
fascinating than usual among them he
lighted upon a quantity of lacquered
boxes from six inches to a foot square,
and when he opened one of them he
found a veritable surprise in store.
They We're samples of the Japanese
Game of Perfumes The lacquering
had been done by the great Japanese
artists of the eighteenth century, Ko-
mas, Kajikawas and Shunshos.
The incrusted illustrations ON the
covers of these boxes referred mostly
to medieval tales of Japanese chivalry
such as the Oriental scholar discovers
blazoned through the romances of
"Genji Monogatari" The contents con-
sisted of tiny receptacles full of fra
grant wood of various descriptions,
of minute brazier, silver spatula,
and silver plated mica platter. There
were also a few pieces Of carefully pre-
pared charcoal and a very considerable
number of daintily designed counters
accompanying each box-each CORE
spending in name to certain one of
the perfumes to be burned.
The game was thus begun: One Of
the incense bearing jars was emptied
Of small part of it's contents (by
means of the silver spatula) onto the
silver-plated mica platter piece of
charcoal was then inserted in the bra
zier and lighted, and while it was burn
ing the silver platter containing the in
cense was suspended by its handle over
the flame until the fumes of incense
permeated the air.
The point of the game (Which could
be participated in by any number of
persons who could sit around the table
comforta bly, was to guess the name of
the perfume consumed, choose out the
counter corresponding to it and put it
in its proper place on the checker board
which also accompanied each box.
It is clear that the Japanese were
more skilled in distinguishing odOrs
than the inhabitants of modern West
ern lands. Incense was first brought
into Japan by Buddhist missionaries in
the sixth century. They came, no
doubt, from any one of the various
Tartar Lamasaries in Thibet, or be-
yond.
The earliest mention that I can I'M
earth from japanese literature of this
incense game occurs in the tenth
century among The "Genji Monogata
III rornances ALREADY referred to. 1t
was not, however, until the close Of the
fifteenth century, which marks the
most fiourishing era of the Japanese
Renaissance, that this incense game
was most in vogue. 1t was at this Pc
Rod in japanese history that the OIL
factory sense was raised to the level
of fine art.
