Symbol of Happiness and Longevity
This design features a linear pattern inspired by the stem of the sesame plant. Due to its high nutritional value, sesame has long been regarded as a symbol of longevity and health.

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.
