Throughout the rainy season, the combination of warmth, humidity, and inadequate ventilation creates an environment that is highly conducive for the growth of mold. Many Japanese households are equipped with tools and strategies to fend off humidity and preclude moisture-related issues before they emerge.

Japanese households use dehumidifying agents known as 除湿剤. It is readily available in local supermarkets and drug stores. I strongly recommend using humidify moisture containers. The design of this product is simple, straightforward yet ingeniously effective. It captures moisture from the air, which accumulates at the base of the container. In just a month, you can easily discern the extent of moisture accumulated in your home. However, it's important to note that this product is not suitable for large, open spaces. Its size renders it less effective in expansive rooms, but it is ideally suited for placement in closets, shelves, and compact areas.
