Kototamatebako (dragon) Kototamatebako (dragon) was developed as an item to improve the atmosphere of your home, office, or other places where you spend a lot of time to give you a constant sense of well-being and energy, to soothe and revitalize people physically and mentally exhausted by stress related to work and relationships, and to attract good fortune. It is based on the principles of feng shui originating from China, and makes the most of techniques for cleansing spaces passed down in Japan since ancient times. The materials are of only the highest quality. [The finest techniques and materials used in traditional Japanese crafting] The Kototamatebako (dragon) contains charcoal.
Since ancient times, there have been charcoal makers in Japan who have created fine quality charcoal in high temperature kilns, but it is scarce these days due to the more competitive pricing of foreign products. To develop this product, we met with the very best artisanal charcoal makers. They make charcoal using the old fashioned production methods in order to revive the lost local charcoal burning techniques.
The white charcoal they produce is hardened by a maker of roof ornaments in Takahama, Ehime Prefecture. It is said that the familiar ornaments decorating the roofs of old Japanese houses can endure for over 1,000 years, so it is shaped from the very best material.
