A scholarly study of a previously neglected aspect of Oriental culture. Compiled from Chinese and Japanese historical records, some of which are translated and published here for the first time, this book demonstrates the important role which incense timekeepers played in early Chinese social and technological history, in addition to their use for time measurement.
