Different Smellscapes: Olfactory Patterns Through the Japanese Worldview
View through CrossRef
The chapter offers a short review of the methodological and ideological problems of approaching olfaction from a philosophical point of view, before discussing Japanese olfactory culture in particular. Three particular smellscapes are explored in depth: the scent-related refinement of the Heian court, the symbolic deployment of scent-connection in Edo period haikai, and the peculiar intercultural role played by scents in the work of 20th century philosopher Kuki Shūzō.
