April 18 is the day of incense because incense was introduced in April and because the character for “incense” can be broken down to “18 days”.
The illustration is a cockatiel that has been burning incense in a very stylish way!
She said, “Yes…! …I can’t tell the difference between it and moxibustion, but it smells good ♫”.
It’s the middle of April, the time of year when we get tired and want to relax!
I also uploaded a song inspired by this illustration on Twitter.
I made it in Japanese style with a dragon flute and autoharp.
Please listen to it if you like.
