HISTORY
During a Long Tradition that Extends nearly 120years, New Technologies have Always Been Developed from Scratch.

Nearly 120 years have passed since Kincho founder Eiichiro Ueyama met H. E. Amoa in 1885 and received from him seedlings of the Dalmatian pyrethrum, which at that time did not grow in Japan. Kincho was the first company in the world to develop a spiral-shaped mosquito-repellant incense, and it has continued to turn out a variety of revolutionary products designed for a healthy, pleasant lifestyle. Kincho is now embarking on new traditions to span this 21st century of its operations.

Origin of our trademark design
The rooster head is derived from an adage in a Chinese historical chronicle that reads, "Better to be the head of a rooster than the tail of a cow," which parallels the English saying, "Better to be the head of a cat than the tail of a lion." This expresses our determination as the founder of the industry to always be number one in all aspects of business, including quality, reliability, and management.
