春ウコンの蒸留
春ウコンから、香水の原料を創っています。
精油の量は年によって異なり、原料の量が同じでも、たくさん採れる年もあれば、全く採れない年もあります。これは蒸留が終わるまで分かりません。今回は、春ウコン300kg蒸留していますが、この原料は市場にはないので、自分たちで作ります。これは塗香香水の原料として使われます。
およそ1200年前、当時、空海が塗香の材料として使っていたとされる、鬱金や丁子、龍脳、沈香などの生薬原料をもとに、現代の”塗香”として表現しています。

Distillation of turmeric
We are making the raw material for perfume from turmeric.
The amount of essential oil harvested varies from year to year, and even with the same amount of raw material, there are years when we harvest a lot and years when we harvest nothing at all. This is not known until the distillation is complete. This time we distilled 300kg of spring turmeric, and since this raw material is not sold anywhere, we have no choice but to make it ourselves. This will be the raw material for our Zukō perfume.
This is a modern version of Zukō using herbal medicine such as turmeric and glove, camphor and agarwood, which are said to have been used as medicine by 弘法大師 空海Kōbō Daishi Kūkai （774–835） about 1,200 years ago.
Zukō is a fine powder made by drying and mixing herbal medicines such as agarwood, clove, cinnamon and turmeric, which has also been used as a medicine. Before beginning their ascetic practices, monks would take Zukō in their mouths or apply it to their bodies to remove impurities and purify their bodies and minds. This is believed to purify three elements: body, speech and spirit.
