Located near the main gate of Tensho-ji Temple in Kyoto, Kyukyodo was founded in 1663 by Kumagai Naozani as an apothecary supplying Chinese herbs and fragrant materials in front of the main gates of the temple district in Kyoto. The name "Kyukyodo" is from an ancient Chinese folk song which proclaims "the store is yours" to the doves nesting within its eaves, represented by the Kumagai family crest of two opposing doves used in Kyukyodo's distinctive logo. Known for the high quality of their incense, Kyukyodo strives to contribute to the world through preserving and nurturing traditional Japanese culture.
