Hinoki Cypress Tree
The finest hinoki (Japanese cypress) grows exclusively in Japan and is not found in Australia.
Hinoki is renowned for its durability due to its moisture-regulating and insulating properties. Its smooth texture, beautiful grain, and lustrous finish exude luxury, and it gains a rich patina with use.
Hinoki contains natural anti-fungal, antibacterial, and pest-repellent properties, making it highly practical and historically integrated into various aspects of Japanese life, from the iconic Kiyomizu-dera temple and Kabuki stages to traditional hinoki baths.
Beyond its practical benefits, its unique component, hinokial, is believed to contribute to relaxation and mental well-being. Enjoy the crisp, calming, and luxurious aroma that is distinctively hinoki.
