Japan’s oldest incense company, founded in 1594 by Riemon Ouno, a merchant from Kyoto. Its history traces back to its beginnings as an apothecary and incense dispensary serving the monks of a nearby Buddhist temple, remaining in the same location to this day. With traditional recipes and wisdom passed down through generations, the Ouno family continues to run Kungyokudo, rooted in tradition while keeping pace with changing times, creating premium incense with high craftsmanship and natural materials, suited to every nose and space.
