History

Started more than 1400 years ago in Japan

It is said that incense came into use about 1,400 years ago with the introduction of Buddhism in Japan.

That is, in ancient Japan, incense was used as "a religious item to dispel evil spirits and purify oneself before the Buddha.

Then, incense has been used in various ways in daily life over time, such as to purify a place, to enjoy the fragrance, to invite meditation, or to imagine a person through the remaining scent, and it has become one of the unique traditional cultures that Japan is proud of.
