Hello, I'm Masaru Ishizaka, a fragrance producer.

This time we will introduce you to the world of scent and meditation.


Meditation - Close your eyes and quiet your mind.

I first encountered meditation when I was in the first grade of elementary school.

When I was in elementary school, we had the habit of closing our eyes for 10 seconds before coming home from school and reflecting on the day.


It wasn't really what you would call meditation, but looking back now I think it was a formative experience of meditation in a very simple form.



Later, when I was eight years old, I started Aikido and meditation became a part of my training and became my life's work.


At first, I would just close my eyes and mess around with the kid next to me, but as I got used to it, I began to feel the comfort of emptiness and calm in my mind that comes with meditation.

I began to find meditation helpful in improving my focus.


When you feel confident and focused on the task at hand, every move you make is more powerful than usual.

And meditation can assist you in reaching that state of mind.

I have developed the habit of calming my mind through meditation when I feel anxious or scared.


Later, as I began my career as a fragrance producer, I discovered a strong connection between meditation and the world of fragrance.

Breathing is very important in meditation.

Through slow, steady breathing, your mind will become calm and relaxed.
And the scent acts like a ruler to make that breathing straight and regular.

If there is a scent in the space, breathing becomes more concrete as you notice the scent out of the corner of your eye.


The scent corrects your breathing, and breathing provides a time for meditation.

And time spent in meditation leads to a sense of spaciousness and comfort.

Why not try incorporating meditation into your life's work while spreading fragrance throughout your space?

GO AHEAD, LAYER IT ON.
