Kooboku Jinja 枯木神社 Koboku Jinja
兵庫県淡路市尾崎220番 - Hyogo, Awaji Island, Ozaki
According to legend, a piece of fragrant wood was washed at the shore of 志築浦 Shizuki Inlet. When a passer-by took it in its hands to take home to the fireplace, it began to float again to the high sea and finally reached the beach of Ozaki 尾崎の濱.
When the people took it out of the water and tried to cut down the big piece for firewood, blood came rushing out of the cuts.
The astonished fishermen threw it back into the sea, fearing a curse, but on the next day it was back in the same place. Another innocent fisherman wanted to take it home for firewood, but became ill instead. So to get rid of it, they placed the cursed wood on a boat and threw it into the sea far away in the ocean.
But it was back again and the fishermen finally realized that this wood had supernatural powers and built a shrine for it.

Awaji Island incense
is born from traditional incense manufacturing methods, strict quality management and the skill and pride of the koh-shi (incense-making master. Master Of Fragrance).
Awaji Island is the leading manufacturer of incense in Japan, currently responsible for 70% of all of Japan's incense. The history extends back to 1850 in Ei of the city of Awaji in 1850 when Senshuu Sakai manufacturing technology was introduced. At the time, Ei was a military run trade port for the Tokushima Clan, which opened the door to the import and sale of raw materials used in making incense. Over time, the incense made in Awaji Island became renowned throughout Japan. The main reason incense manufacturing took root in Awaji Island is because of its nishi-kaze (west wind). This strong seasonal wind hampers the fishing industry, giving rise to the necessity for cottage industries such as incense making. This wind is also great for drying incense. Skillful use of nature is the secret to Awaji Island's incense making. That skill and spirit have been passed on to the Awaji Island incense of today.
