According to the old book, in 595 a piece of tree drifted in Awaji Island in Japan.
People of the Island burned it with firewood in the oven. Then there was a very good scent on every side.
Prince Shotoku said that this is a submerged aroma, it is a tree sinking in the water,
so it says agarwood.
This is regarded as the beginning of one of Japanese incense history.
