Natural CamphorOther craftworks

Natural camphor has played an important role in people's lives as an insect repellant and is currently enjoying popularity in aromatherapy. Natural camphor was once on the verge of disappearing completely due to the spread of synthetic camphor, but the natural tradition is protected by Uchino Camphor in Miyama City - the sole producer of natural camphor in Fukuoka Prefecture.
