# 1About Oimatsu, the Court Sweets Preparation Shop

Yusoku Confectionery Ochoshinsho Oimatsu is a Japanese confectionery shop that was founded in 1908 in Kamishichiken, Kyoto's oldest entertainment district. The head of the family descends from court ceremonial officials in the Heian period, and has been making sweets for use in ceremonies and rites based on the ancient court customs and sweets for the tea ceremony, hence the name Yusoku Confectionery Ochoshinsho. Sweets are a communication tool that connects people. We will convey the history and culture of Kyoto through the intangible cultural heritage that connects Kyoto, "Kyoto's confectionery culture."
