Why Umeken
We combine the time-tested expertise of Japanese traditional medicine and cutting-edge research to produce effective, high-quality wellness products.
Rooted in over 300 years of Japanese Koso medicine ball making
During the prime of the Edo period (1615 ? 1868), a young man in Toyama prefecture popularized the use of natural herbs and ingredients to produce “Medicine Balls” that were portable and greatly increased the quality and life span of his customers. It was from the Edo period that the foundations of Japanese Traditional medicine were slowly perfected, and guarded secretly within a few families.
The skills of making the “medicine ball” had been passed down through families. A descendant of such a family, Mr. Inagaki Shouichi opened a small pharmaceutical company, Daido, in 1947. Holding steadfast to the centuries old tradition of hand pressing every ball and using only the best ingredients, the company grew steadily. In 1978, it was incorporated as Umeken® Co.
