1. History and appeal of frankincense

Frankincense (also known as "olibanum") is a resin obtained from trees of the genus Boswellia in the Burseraceae family, harvested in solid form. Its etymology comes from the Old French phrase "franc encens," meaning "pure incense" or "true incense," and in Japanese, it is called "nyuko" (乳香), meaning "milk incense." This name comes from the distinct beautiful color of the milky white resin.

It is famous as one of the three gifts—frankincense, myrrh, and gold—presented to celebrate the birth of Christ, and was considered to be as valuable as gold. In ancient Egypt, it was used in sacred rituals and incense burners, and to this day, it continues to be cherished as a precious natural fragrance in various settings.
