What is Agarwood (沉香, 침향)?

Agarwood, known as "Chimhyang" (침향) in Korean, is a highly valuable resin that forms over hundreds of years as the sap of the Aquilaria tree hardens. It is called "Chimhyang" because it is a fragrant wood that sinks in water. The resin is produced by the tree as a natural defense mechanism to heal wounds, and over centuries—sometimes thousands of years—it becomes a rare and historically significant raw material.
