先日、日本国内23の構成資産からなる「明治日本の産業革命遺産」がユネスコ世界遺産に登録されました。私たちが去年から「至誠」の香りで演出している松陰神社内の松下村塾もそのひとつです。
萩市産夏みかんの香りをベースに、青森ヒバと青葉の香りをブレンドした「至誠」は、私たちの “香りをきっかけに、松蔭先生が志を持って生きた時代と今を繋げたら…”と言う想いから作られた香りです。
過去から引き継ぎ、そして未来へと伝えていくため世界遺産となった今、幕末・維新に活躍した多数の門下生に吉田松陰先生が伝えたかったこと、そっと目をつぶって至誠の香りと共に当時へ思いを馳せてみてはどうでしょうか。

Recently, twenty-three constitutional assets around Japan representing the “Sites of Japan’s Meiji Industrial Revolution” were registered as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. One of those sites is the “Shokasan Juku School” within Shoin Shrine in Hagi, Yamaguchi, which Air Aroma Japan has been scenting with the Shisei blend since last year.
Shisei is based on the aroma of Hagi-made natsumikan oranges, together with the refreshing scent of Aomori hiba (cypress). It was created with the hope of connecting the revolutionary era in which Shoin lived and taught with steadfast determination, with modern times.
With the recent recognition of Shoin’s school as a World Heritage Site, now may be the perfect time to close your eyes and breathe in the Shisei aroma, imagining the past and perhaps mulling over the teachings of Yoshida Shoin to his students, many of whom played substantial roles at the end of the Edo Period and during the Meiji Restoration. Time travel to the past and pass it on to the future with the scent of Shisei.
