[Awaji Island, the birthplace of incense making: Ei]
Ei, also known as Eiura, was the most prosperous port on Awaji Island, with a thriving shipping industry (maritime transport and commerce) since the early Edo period. However, in winter, the port is often closed due to seasonal winds, making it impossible to work. Men are away from home for about six months to work away from home. As a way to combat the winter's decline, incense production was suitable for women to do as a side job, and Eiura's climate and location were ideal for bringing in raw materials and transporting products, so incense production began.
[Is it a coincidence? The history of fragrance]
According to the Nihon Shoki, during the reign of Empress Suiko (Prince Shotoku's aunt), in 595 AD, a local resident casually burned a piece of wood that had washed up on the shores of Awaji Island, and a fragrant aroma wafted through the air. The resident quickly pulled the wood from the fire and presented it to the Imperial family. It is said that the Kannon statue at Horyuji Temple was carved out of this fragrant wood. The fragrant wood is still treasured today, and is enshrined as the sacred object of worship at Kareki Shrine.
