Hakutan Air Purifier
Product Description
For centuries, artisans in Japan’s Wakayama region have turned oak branches into binchotan, a type of activated charcoal known for its purifying properties and white hue. This “white charcoal” is one of the finest, densest, and purest forms of carbon available. Filled with countless microcavities, the surface area of just one gram of the material equals 250 m² (around the size of a tennis court!), which allows is to efficiently absorb impurities from water, air, and skin, while releasing vital minerals absorbed by the living tree— including potassium, magnesium, calcium and phosphorus.
This Hakutan Air Purifier is a sculptural chunk of white charcoal that functions as a natural, electricity-free air freshener for any room that regulates humidity levels, while actively deodorizing and cleansing the air. In Japan, a Hakutan is often placed next to the computer, where the negative ions it emits works to neutralize the harmful effects of electromagnetic waves emitted by electronic devices. You can even add a scented essential oil for a burst of freshness and create a calming morning ritual.
