Natural Hinoki Wood
Hinoki has long been used in Japan for buildings, baths, and everyday wooden objects.
The wood has a light color, smooth texture, and distinctive natural fragrance. Because the surface is left uncoated, you can feel the natural texture of the wood directly.
Each piece of wood is different. Knots, variations in grain and color, small areas of unevenness, and other natural characteristics may be visible. These are part of the appearance of natural Hinoki and are not considered defects.
The wood used for this stool may include knots because it is made using thinned timber.
Material & Origin
Material: Natural Hinoki (Japanese Cypress)
Made in: Kochi, Japan
Caution in Use
Hinoki is a natural wood, and small amounts of resin may occasionally appear on the surface over time. This is a normal characteristic of the material and is not considered a defect.
If resin appears, it can be gently wiped away with rubbing alcohol (ethanol) before use.
Hinoki is relatively soft and lightweight, with a smooth natural feel. Because of this, strong impact or contact with hard objects may leave scratches or dents on the surface. These marks are a natural part of using unfinished wood.
