We went to "Museum of the smell" in Iwata City.
It is in the close vicinity of "Shin Zoukei Souzou Kan"(glass art gallery) of Iwata City that introduced it by this blog the other day.
The first photograph is taking of the garden from among the museum.
As for this garden, a lot of smelling flowering plants such as the rose, wistarias, and herbs are planted.
There was only a permanent exhibit when I went though there is a special exhibition that is able to be researched about the smell of the fermented food such as cheeses.
but we learned about lots of the smell.
There is a small and two-story museum, and the second floor is an exhibition room of the collection.
We can smell many things at here.
This is very interested room.↓↓↓
Named on the each door which is ''Melon'', ''Ice cream'', ''Ancient Egypt'', when you open the door,that smell is in the air and you can listen to the stories concerning the smell on the monitor screen.
I knew by "Room of the melon",
The melon has working that lets salinity out of the body. you know ''Salad of the raw ham and the melon" South of France's traditional salad, The melon absorbs salinity with strong raw ham,so it is very delicious and very healthy food!!!
I am deeply impressed by men of old' wisdom and local cuisine.
This is scented oil bottle of the second century excavated from Syria.↓↓ very beautiful!!
This bottle was used to diluted essential oil of rose with water and sprinkled it in the room.(from Persia)↓↓
There are a cafe and a museum shop in the first floor.
and you can make a perfume which is your original one in the world at there.
Though it is a bytalk a little,
The person who has the custom to wear perfume by the Japanese every day is a little, I think.
There is a history from which "Smell" was liked among aristocrats at the Heian era however the custom of taking "Smell" to life has disappeared in Japan now.
Not lots of Japanese people wear the perfume for their body but recently a lot of people are being interested in the washing detergent and the smell of the aroma spray which is sterilization and deodorant plus smell for the rooms.
I guess, it might be good that clean and scentless for Japanese.
However, the smell is one of the important senses in the history of a long human race,so I think that the Japanese may also set foot on deeper to "World of the smell" slowly.
