Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study focuses on agarwood (Jinkoh, 沈香), a tropical rainforest product with both deep ties to Asian culture and society and high market value, and explores how the value chain has been established. There is history which has handled one by one piece agarwood carefully by Koh-doh, or the art of incense which is unique to Japan’s artistic culture. In addition, it is possible to understand the interest to the traceability for the tradition of rikkoku gomi, or “Six States, Five Tastes”, which is derived from the six shipping countries where agarwood originates, and the classification into five different tastes. It is not appropriate to handle a place of origin by the unit as the country today from the field survey results, and the traceability based on stricter and detailed information of the place of origin was found to be sought.
