Hinoki cypress is highly resistant to water and humidity, and has anti-bacterial quailities – making it ideal to use in moist environments and perfect for bathroom use.

Hinoki cypress wood is native to Japan, and has been used throughout history in building traditional Japanese baths, as well as ancient and sacred shrines and temples. It is prized for its light tone, straight grain, and natural citrus scent.

It is natural for wood resin to appear on the surface of hinoki wood. This resin is what also imparts a fresh hinoki scent. If you are concerned about the stickiness, it can be wiped off with rubbing alcohol.
