Oguni Cedar

Japanese: 小国杉 - おぐにすぎ
Oguni Cedar
A regional brand of Kumamoto prefecture, Kyushu and Okinawa region.
Cedar timber produced in Oguni-cho and Minamioguni-cho in Aso-gun, Kumamoto Prefecture. Forestry in Oguni has a history of approximately 250 years, dating back to the Horeki era (1751-1764) of the Edo period, when the Hosokawa clan ordered each household to hang 25 cedar stalks on a pole. Oguni cedar, also known as hokosugi, continues to grow until the later years of its life. In March 2008, it was registered as a regional collective trademark with the Japan Patent Office. The trademark registration number is 5120442. The owners of the regional collective trademark are the Oguni Town Forestry Association and the Aso Forestry Association.
