Kagoshima prefecture, one of Japan 's 47 prefectures, lies at the very southern tip of Japan and occupies an area of 9,187 square kilometers. Consisting of two peninsulas, Satsuma and Osumi, and many remote islands, the prefecture has 72 municipalities, 16 cities, 51 towns, and 5 villages.Kagoshima , which is still often referred to by its old name, "Satsuma", was once the property of the Shimadzu family; a feudal clan that helped pioneer the introduction of Western technology. These efforts in part promoted the Meiji Restoration of 1868, which dissolved the previous era of feudalism and returned power to the Emperor.With its geographical advantage of being located in the south, Kagoshima 's unique history and culture are the result of contact with China , Korea and other countries in South-East Asia and the rest of the world. The kind and friendly disposition of the citizens of Kagoshima is based on the open and cheerful personality particular to the southern region, and is an advantage in expanding Kagoshima 's relationships both domestically and internationally.
The Kagoshima Prefectural land, spans 600 kilometers from north to south, is blessed with a mild climate and the rich and diverse natural beauty of unique islands such as Yakushima (a World Natural Heritage Site), volcanoes such as Sakurajima, lush forests and an abundance of hot springs . It also has many interesting tourism resources for history and culture, making Kagoshima one of Japan 's most well-known tourist destinations.
Kagoshima Prefecture produces ample agricultural and fishery products of excellent quality. The concentrated food industry, which utilizes such products, now serves the role of major food supplier for the rest of Japan . The integration of electronic-related industries and advanced technology has been promoted in and around the Kokubu-Hayato region. Additionally, Kagoshima is the only prefecture in Japan that has space exploration and rocket launching facilities, the accumulated essence of modern science.
In March 2004, Kyushu Shinkansen Kagoshima began service between Kagoshima-Chuo and Yatsushiro, reducing rail travel times between Kagoshima and Fukuoka to 2 hours and 10 minutes and thus greatly improving land access to Kagoshima . (With the completion of full service, travel time between Kagoshima and Fukuoka will be about 1 hour and 20 minutes).
Kagoshima Prefecture is full of great potential with its blessed and diverse natural environment, geography, unique history, and culture, diverse industries, and technologies and of course, its people.

Shirasu, contained in the volcanic ash of Mt. Sakurajima in Kagoshima, Japan has been used by the local people to wash cutlery for a long time. That secret wisdom is now concentrated in “Shirasu - Volcanic Ash - Pack”. Erupted hundreds of years ago, absorbing various minerals in the sea, later becoming the white stratums of the earth, Shirasu has been nourished in the nature over the years. Utilizing the hidden merits of Shirasu to the maximum, we would like to help you pursue beauty and health furthermore.

With the dense and almost elastic bubbles featured with the soap, the froth made from the spheres of the ultrafine particle Shirasu removes the dirt on the skin to the deep inside the pore where ordinary cleansing cream cannot reach. It also features Lipidure which is often used for artificial blood vessel contact lenses and others. When used in a soap, it creates artificial cells on the surface of the skin, and even after rinsing, moisture remains in the cells.

1. Gentle creamy Pack. Apply the cream gently over the skin.

After washing the face, wipe it off, and then apply the appropriate amount of “Shirasu - Volcanic Ash - Pack” over the face.
*Pack should not be applied around the eyes or over the lips.

USE:Use the cream twice or three times a week. Change the frequency depending on the skin condition.

2. Shirasu absorbing Shirasu, Moisture ingredients permeating the skin.

Extend the pack so that the face is covered by the cream. Shirasu produces its effect all over the face.

3. Towards the tranquil skin

Rinse the pack off the face before the cream becomes dry.
Wash the face thoroughly with water as the Shirasu ingredients are ultrafine particles.

Volcanic Ash: Bad For Jets, Great For Your Face!

by Steve Levenstein

Volcanic ash in my cosmetics? It's more likely than you think, especially to those who extol the virtues of pumice soaps and cleaners - pumice being solidified, frothy lava. Like pumice, volcanic ash is added to soaps and cosmetics for its exfoliating properties.

A Japanese company called Tengen has based an entire line of cosmetics around a certain type of volcanic ash that is hundreds of thousands of years old - but will help users look very, very young.

According to company president Kayoko Matano, "We dig... to find pure white ash", at a secret location on Japan's southern island of Kyushu. Known locally as Shirasu, the ash was deposited in a massive volcanic eruption approximately 400,000 years ago.

Shirasu's extremely fine particles are ideally sized to remove dirt and debris from skin pores without acting as an abrasive. The graphic below, illustrated with the smiling and frowning faces so beloved by Japanese advertisers, shows how Tengen's Kingo Kingo skin cleanser works.

"There are still indefinite ways of using the effect of the volcanic ash," adds Matano, a former beautician who has directed Tengen's growth since 1994. "I want to continue to study (the ash), and contribute to promoting health and beauty."

Today, Tengen's production facility in the city of Kagoshima produces ash-based gels, cleansers and creams to the tune of 200 to 400 kilograms daily, and the company plans to extend its reach to Hong Kong, Taiwan, mainland China and Singapore.

Tengen cosmetics, winners of the coveted Monde Selection award in 2009 and 2010, are also available online via Japanese internet retailer Rakuten. (via TokyoMango, Channel News Asia and Girls Power)
