"Fujisawa Camphor" was introduced for sale as a moth repellent for home use in 1897. As a background that camphor was produced on a commercial basis, the following were studied: (1) Camphor was already used as a moth repellent by some people in the Endo Period. (2) With the Sino-Japanese War as a turning point, armaments were increased and they made military uniforms which were made of wool. It also made Western woolen clothes spread in general. (3) As people were in danger to catch infectious diseases in those days, they had a habit of avoiding bad odors and drifting fragrances like camphor were used in rooms to prevent the plague. (4) In those days, a technique for refining camphor was established, so white crystal-line camphor was produced on a commercial basis.
“藤泽樟脑”于1897年作为家用防蛀剂上市销售。作为樟脑进行商业化生产的背景，对以下方面进行了研究：（1）江户时代就有一些人已将樟脑用作防蛀剂。（2）以中日战争为转折点，军备扩充，制作了羊毛制成的军装。这也使得西式羊毛衣物得以广泛传播。（3）当时人们面临感染传染病的风险，有避免异味的习惯，会在室内使用樟脑等散发香味的物品来预防瘟疫。（4）当时确立了樟脑精炼技术，因此能够商业化生产白色结晶状樟脑。
