Goods

The widely beloved camellias are processed into a variety of figure other than oil.

Camellias are used for a variety of purposes other than camellia oil on Oshima. The camellia is an integral part of life on Oshima which could be said to be inextricable. From the preserved flowers which maintain the beauty of the camellia semi-permanently to handicrafts made using the strong but supple camellia wood, the charcoal of the camellia which is known for its long-lasting burn, and even flavorful food products like jams and dressings, the camellias can be enjoyed from every angle imaginable. You can encounter these camellias which play so many roles in daily life on Oshima. Please try picking up on of the camellia products of Oshima.
