Baieidō - Over 300 Years of Japanese Incense Tradition

Founded in 1657 in the historic trading city of Sakai, Baieidō is one of Japan’s oldest and most revered incense makers. Its founder, Kakuuemon Yamatoya, known as Jinkōya Sakubei, specialized in crafting incense from the finest aloeswood and natural ingredients, a title and craft reserved for true masters of the trade. For over three centuries, Baieidō has preserved these secret recipes and time-honored techniques, passing them down generation to generation. Every stick reflects the same philosophy that guided its founder, purity of materials, respect for tradition, and the quiet elegance of Japanese incense. Rooted in history yet timeless in its appeal, Baieidō continues to offer incense that transforms spaces, rituals, and moments, carrying forward a legacy that began in the temples, courts, and homes of Japan.
