The manufacture of borneol started in about 1890 by the reduction of camphor at a rural chemical work in Osaka. Fujisawa Company, which refined and sold crude camphor, began to study the techniques necessary to manufacture borneol. In 1912, Fujisawa had succeeded in producing high-quality borneol in its plant. They tried to export it to China, from where they imported it before. The company replaced natural borneol on the market, supplying large amounts of high-quality borneol produced by the reduction method.
