Manufacturing Yunohana
The high temperature stream ejected from underground is directed by the stone drain or soil pipes to the underground of the Yunohana cottage. Around 40cm below the ground are a number of parallel stone drains. As suppressed by the surrounding pebbles, the temperature of the stream passing though the underground drain reaches 35 degree Celsius. They then bond with the iron and aluminum in the 10cm blue clay, and precipitated as silk thread crystal. This is Yunohana.
The principles of Yunohana
Inside the Yunohana cottage, hot stream from the stone drain passes through the pebbles and blue clay; they cool down when transcending, and liquify into water. At the same time, hydrogen sulfide and Iron II sulphate are acidified to become sulphuric acid. When transcending through the slits in blue clay, they bond with the iron, aluminum in the clay to form sulphuric salt and precipitated as crystals on the surface.
