How it's used
Describes someone who is genuinely simple, kind, and lacks worldly cynicism. It carries a positive, slightly protective connotation, often used when someone seems too naive to handle the harsh realities of life. It is almost exclusively applied to people rather than objects or abstract concepts.
Examples
He is a very innocent person and always believes others.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 純, which is used for materials or substances like pure gold or pure water. Using 純品 to describe an object will sound nonsensical to native speakers.
