Shippō
Symbol of Good Fortune and Prosperity
This intricate design, which is rare among Kumiko patterns for its use of curved wood, embodies wishes for harmony, completeness, and meaningful connections. It represents the seven treasures mentioned in Buddhist scriptures: gold, silver, crystal, lapis lazuli, agate, coral, and shell. The pattern signifies that human connections and relationships are as valuable as these seven treasures.

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.
