Proposals for lifestyles that are useful for the lives of people in Japan's forests. Kinokoto is a product that protects "wood" and values "feelings" and makes use of the "functions" of natural materials.
We manufacture functional ceramic charcoal in-house using thinned wood as a raw material. We have commercialized leg warmers and socks made of natural materials such as silk and organic cotton to keep warm and cold.
Functional ceramic charcoal has a function (patented) that selects unpleasant odors and deodorizes them, so it can be used as both a deodorizing material and an aroma plate, and interiors that purify the air are also commercialized.
It is also used as a material for commercial purposes (construction and kitchens). Kinokoto was started in 2009 by ASCAM Co., Ltd., which manufactures functional ceramic charcoal.
