What is Hinoki Wood?
Hinoki is a type of Japanese Cypress known for its long lasting, antifungal and antibacterial properties. It dries and ages well due to a high oil content and releases a relaxing scent when drying.

History of Hinoki Wood
One can note that the durability of Hinoki is considered as the best in the world. Japan has been using Hinoki as a construction material for temples and shrines since ancient times!
One example is the Horyuji Temple (法隆寺) founded in 607 in Nara, Japan. With a history of 1300 years, it is now the oldest surviving wooden structure in the world.
There is a popular saying that Hinoki wood is stronger than concrete!!
