Oure philosophy
Takachiho’s Shirasu-kabe plaster material is created from all-natural ingredients, mainly a volcanic soil known as shirasu, accounting for about 60%. Shirasu is an extremely fine powder composed of irregularly shaped particles with many internal cavities separated by a complex web of structures. These cavities account for the majority of each particle’s volume, and can store and release moisture and humidity. The complex structure of the cavities increases each particle’s surface area, so that particles absorb and retain molecules of odors and other chemicals. These features give Shirasu-kabe unrivalled humidity-conditioning and deodorizing properties.
