I. “Tasogare” (“Who-Is-there?” I. e. “Evening-Dusk”). II. “Baikwa” (“Plum Flower”). III. “Wakakusa” (“Young Grass”). IV. (“Guest Incense”) “Yamaji-no-Tsuyu” (“Dew-on-the-Mountain-Path”). To the Japanese original of the foregoing record were appended the names of the players, the date of the entertainment, and the name of the place where the party was held. It is the custom In some families to enter all such records in a book especially made for the purpose, and furnished with an index which enables the _Kō-kwai_ player to refer immediately to any interesting fact belonging to the history of any past game. The reader will have noticed that the four kinds of incense used were designated by very pretty names. The incense first mentioned, for example, is called by the poets’ name for the gloaming,—_Tasogaré_ (lit: “Who is there?” or “ Who is it?”)—a word which in this relation hints of the toilet-perfume that reveals some charming presence to the lover waiting in the dusk. Perhaps some curiosity will be felt regarding the composition of these incenses. I can give the Japanese recipes for two sorts; but I have not been able to identify all of the materials named:— _Recipe for Yamaji-no-Tsuyu._ Ingredients Proportions. about Jinkō (aloes-wood) 4 _mommé_ (½ oz.)
