Product Description
Transform your bathroom into the ultimate ryokan onsen experience with this Large Japanese Bath Stool made from Hinoki Cypress wood. 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.
We recommend pairing with the Hinoki Wash Bowl, sold separetely.

How to Care for Hinoki Japanese Bath Stools & Wash Bowls.
1. A gentle hand wash in lukewarm water will do the job. Avoid prolonged periods of immersion in water as it may cause cracks due to warping or shrinkage of the wood. Make sure to wash off any excess water or bathroom scale. We love the soft bristles of the palm tawashi brush for this.
2. Thoroughly polish dry with a clean cloth after each use and leave to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from moisture. Make sure bath bowls are tilted on an angle up-side down so moisture is not trapped inside.
3. It is natural for wood resin to appear on the surface of the 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.
4. Exposure to Sunlight
Avoid prolonged direct exposure to sunlight, as this can cause the wood tone to age and shift over time, often darkening the wood.
5. If Ever Needed & Treating Stains
Hinoki wood is a naturally bacteria and mould resistant wood, if however any mould does appear, allow the wood to dry completely. Then lightly sand back the area with fine sandpaper following the direction of the grain, or alternatively try rubbing it gently with a palm tawashi brush.
