Genpachi Fujii, the founder of the shop, was originally hired by the Ii clan in Hikone in the current Shiga Prefecture as a carpenter for temples and shrines. In 1855, he started producing and peddling Buddhist altars with a carrying pole. He learned at that time that not many people in Gifu had household altars but a lot of Buddhists there belonged to Jodo-shu (Pure Land Buddhism) or Jodo-shinshu (True Pure Land Buddhism or Shin Buddhism) that have a high regard for Buddhist altars. Therefore, Genpachi decided to move into Gifu when he was in his 30s. He was not only a good businessman but also a very proud craftsman and never compromised in producing the highest quality of Buddhist altars. Thanks to his dedication to his craft, he earned a reputable name. One hundred and fifty years later, Susumu Fujii is the 6th generation of this long-established business, committed to passing down their authentic tradition to the generations to come.
The relationship between Buddhism and incense dates back to pre-Christian India. Various kinds of incense products are available as gifts, and for religious and private use.
