Bincho-tan or white charcoal is a traditional charcoal of Japan.

It dates to the Edo period, when during the Genroku era, a craftsman named Bitchu-ya Chozaemon began to produce it in Tanabe, Wakayama.

The raw material is oak, specifically ubame oak (Quercus phillyraeoides), now the official tree of Wakayama Prefecture.

Charcoal offers numerous beneficial effects that are exploited to make a wide array of products, from everyday items to beautifying agents.

Charcoal is attracting attention because its unique characteristics can be used in many ways.

It has so many tiny cavities oriented in so many directions that one gram of charcoal has a surface area of about 250 m2. The cavities can attach different substances to their walls, then release them later.

For example, they absorb moisture from humid air, then release it during dry conditions. This makes charcoal an excellent humidity regulator.

Charcoal has other benefits, too: it absorbs unpleasant room odors and harmful substances; it generates negative ions that are said to put people in a better frame of mind; and it exerts a far-infrared effect that supposedly improves blood circulation.
Researchers in Japan are examining these benefits, exploring new uses to develop innovative products like water purifiers (for drinking and bathing), agents to keep vegetables and other foods fresh, soil enhancers, humidity regulators for the walls and floors of homes, and deodorants.
