Saw this little item on GreenMuze. It looks great, and it’s conceivable it might just add a little humidity to an arid, small room.
The passive Mast Humidifier designed by Shin Okada is constructed from rot-resistant Japanese cypress. The elegantly folded cypress absorbs water placed in the base and diffuses it into the room via the wood’s natural capillary action and evaporation.

6300 yen is over $69 US and then there would be shipping on top of that. I will try to find somewhere to get it for less than that. This is a great find.
Good to hear from you, Technobabe. If you find this product for less, please let us all know about it.
Thanks!
