Binchō-tan or white charcoal
or binchō-zumi (備長炭) is a traditional charcoal of Japan. It dates to the Edo period, when during the Genroku era, a craftsman named Bitchū-ya Chōzaemon (備中屋 長左衛門) began to produce it in Tanabe, Wakayama. The raw material is oak, specifically ubame oak (Quercus phillyraeoides), now the official tree of Wakayama Prefecture. Wakayama continues to be a major producer of high-quality charcoal, with the town of Minabe, Wakayama producing more binchō-tan than any other town in Japan.
The fineness and high quality of binchō-tan are attributed to steaming at high temperatures. Although it is often thought that binchō-tan burns hot, it actually burns at a lower temperature than ordinary charcoal but for a longer period of time. Because it does not release smoke or other unpleasant flavors, it is a favorite of unagi and yakitori cooks. Due to difficulties in identifying the producing region, the name binchō-tan has come into broader use to designate white charcoal generally, and even products from outside Japan, as well as those made of other species, have come to use the name. The amount of binchō-tan sold domestically in Japan markedly decreased following a 2004 export restriction promulgated for forest protection by the People's Republic of China.
To differentiate the aforementioned "non-pure" products, there is a movement to call binchō-tan produced in Wakayama Kishū binchō-tan.
Binchō-tan has found uses other than as a fuel. Because it has numerous small pores, it can absorb chemical substances. Bits can be added to rice during cooking to remove chalky flavor, placed in shoe-cabinets to absorb odors, and put in rooms to freshen the air. There are many more supposed benefits and health values of white charcoal. Currently there are a number of binchō-tan-based consumer products on the market such as socks, shirts, shampoo, cosmetic products, and many more.
Binchō-tan or white charcoal is harder than black charcoal, and rings with a metallic sound when struck. Wind chimes and a musical instrument, the tankin ("charcoal-xylophone") have been made from it.

black friday
the day following Thanksgiving Day in the United States, traditionally the beginning of the Christmas shopping season.
On this day, many retailers open very early, often at 4 a.m., or earlier, and offer promotional sales to kick off the shopping season, similar to Boxing Day sales in many commonwealth countries. Black Friday is not actually a holiday, but many employers give their employees the day off, increasing the number of potential shoppers. It has routinely been the busiest shopping day of the year since 2005 . . .

for Priest Issa --
a sack of charcoal
This hokku is from the tenth lunar month (November) in 1813, the year Issa moved into his half of the house he inherited from his father. After Issa finally had a place to stay, he began to think of his house as a kind of temple, and he sometimes referred to it as Haikai Temple (Haikaiji). He was not an ordained priest, but he feels enough confidence to refer to himself sometimes as Priest Issa. Together these two names suggest that Issa considers himself to be a priest in the Haikai school of Buddhism. In the Shin Pure Land school to which he belonged, there is not a definitive difference between priests and ordinary laypeople. Shinran, the founder of the school in the medieval period, preached that both monks and laypeople are inherently imperfect, and he called himself half priest and half layperson. In the same way, Issa wants to express his thanks to Amida Buddha by dedicating himself to haikai.
At the same time, the name Priest Issa seems to have humorous or ironic overtones. In the hokku Issa uses it to talk about himself in the third person, somewhat as Japanese children do. In Japanese society even adults sometimes talk about themselves in the third person, a habit that may express the ability to look at oneself through others' eyes and a habit that seems to appear at the same age at which great sensitivity to other members of your group also appears. So Issa may be smiling at himself and expressing the double feeling of being a poet-priest while being aware that others -- except, perhaps, his students and colleagues -- are not looking at him as a "priest of haikai" but as an impoverished outsider and interloper. The name is also humorous because in Issa's time many haikai poets and teachers, especially when they traveled, still wore black robes and shaved their heads like monks. In the medieval period many renga masters actually were monks, a status that allowed them to remain neutral and to travel fairly freely through the territories of various warlords, but in the Edo Period the custom of dressing like a monk was often just a fashion. Which category does Issa belong to? Is a haikai priest also a kind of real priest? Issa seems to be wondering who he really is.

- part 2
An ordained priest at least has a temple to support him, but a priest of haikai has no steady income. Charcoal was an effective fuel for heating and cooking, yet it was expensive, and the majority of farmers in Issa's time used firewood because it was cheaper. In the hokku, the early winter weather is chilly, and both firewood and charcoal sellers walk by. Issa realizes, however, that as a priest of haikai, he has to spend much of his time on the road tending to or teaching his lay haikai students just so he can make a bare living, and buying a big sack of charcoal is out of the question. I think a further nuance of this hokku is the implication that as a priest who is always traveling around in order to help his students, Issa remains single (though he has asked his relatives to help him find a wife), and seeing or thinking of a big sack of charcoal makes him long to find a compatible wife to feel warm with during the cold winters in his hometown. Perhaps he and his wife will be able to buy at least a few pieces of charcoal to go with their firewood. The next summer, in May 1814, Issa got married to his first wife Kiku, and when he wrote letters to her while he was away he sometimes addressed her as bōmori, a polite word literally meaning 'temple protector' that refers to the wife of a priest in the Shin Pure Land school, a school that allows priests and nuns to marry. Sometimes Issa also refers to his wife as biku, 'monk, mendicant,' so perhaps he is sympathizing with her for being left alone in their haikai temple so much.
The word sack doesn't quite capture the type of straw wrapping in which charcoal was delivered in Issa's time. Bale would be a closer word in some ways, because the charcoal is rolled up in a straw mat, and then tied with rope to keep the mat rolled tight and prevent the charcoal from falling out the often open ends of the rolled mat. See this photo of a doll representing an Edo-period woman carrying a straw sack or bale of charcoal:
