Bamboo charcoal has a long history in China and has been documented as early as 1486 A.D. during the Ming Dynasty in <Chuzhou Fu Zhi>. Later, it was also mentioned in the Qing Dynasty during the rule of Kang Xi, Qian Long and Guang Xu.
Called Takesumi or Chikutan in Japanese, bamboo charcoal burnt at high temperatures exhibits properties vastly different from the bamboo plant, including a high density and porous structure.

The many cavities of bamboo charcoal can attach different substances
to their walls, and then release them later. For example, they can
absorb moisture from humid air, and then release it during dry conditions.
This makes it an excellent humidity regulator. It also has
high mineral content such as calcium, potassium, sodium and iron.
Bamboo charcoal has other benefits, too: it absorbs unpleasant
room odours and harmful substances, generates negative ions that
will put people in a better frame of mind, and emits far-infrared
that helps to improve blood circulation.
Also known as “Black Diamond”, bamboo charcoal products are well received in Japan, Korea and Taiwan. Over the years, many uses have been created for household to bedding
and personal care. Environmentally-friendly, bamboo charcoal products are able to regain effectiveness with easy maintenance.
