Charcoal Elegance ~ White Charcoal and Tannagokoro Show Window ~

Charcoal: black, hard and incredibly simple.
There is nothing ostentatious about it,
yet a genuine softness surrounds it.
Mountain forests are cultivated and only the best trees selected
for careful, slow burning to produce high quality white charcoal.
When refined at the hands of a master charcoal maker, it takes on a palpable softness.
Although plain and exceedingly simple,
white charcoal embodies a certain Japanese "beauty" and "essence".
Come and discover the elegance of charcoal that pervades this show window.
