How Camphor Is Made In Japan
A traditional Japanese process uses felled trees cut into chips placed in a water filled tub over a slow fire. Steam rises through the tub bottom and dissolves camphor from the chips. A bamboo pipe system leads to successive tubs with perforated floors and straw layers that trap camphor crystals as the oil and water separate. Camphor is scraped from the straw and packed for market. The oil serves lighting and other native purposes.
