They will be showcased by 1,200 companies from Japan, South Korea, Australia, Canada and Malaysia, the organizers said. 

They said that this fair will also offer many different incenses and various exquisite incense burners and candlesticks. 

During the fair, many cultural figures have been invited to share their stories, including Chinese archaeologist Fan Jinshi.
