description: "Kinokuniya Bunzaemon , or Kibun  for short, was a Japanese merchant of the Edo period born in Yuasa, Kishū who specialized in citrus, lumber, and salmon, among other goods. He enjoyed the favoritism and protection of shogunal advisor Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu and shogunal minister of finances Ogura Shigehide, and made a sizable fortune as a result. When these two retired, so did Kinokuniya."
