Located in Sakai, one of the most storied ports for centuries at the center of Japan’s incense trade, Okuno Seimeido traces its origins to Japan’s Kyoho era (1716-1736). As a region where the world of Japanese craftsmen is concentrated, Sakai’s strengths lie in its enterprising spirit and generations of knowledge of the art of incense. Okuno Seimeido seeks to learn from the inherited traditions of the past, correctly convey these traditions to the next generation, and further innovate to create the fragrance culture of a new era.
