HINOKI DAILY LIFE

Hinoki lives not only in sacred places, but in the crafted objects of everyday life. From architecture to bath rituals, its presence is felt through texture, scent, and form—refined, useful, and lasting. 

Architecture and Everyday Forms

Hinoki has shaped the spaces and tools of Japanese life for over a thousand years—rooted in daily rituals, it carries purity and strength in every form. Its clean grain, natural resistance, and subtle scent make it ideal for both structure and touch.

• Used in post-and-beam architecture for temples, teahouses, and homes
• Featured in ceiling lattices, floorboards, and sliding door frames, where scent and texture shape atmosphere
• Chosen for luxury sushi counters, where its softness protects blades and enhances presentation
• Crafted into cutting boards, hangiri bowls, and masu cups—once everyday, now treasured
• Embraced in modern interiors for its warmth, breathability, and ageless harmony

Hinoki continues to live in form and function—at once rooted in tradition and responsive to the present.

The Scent of Living

The fragrance of hinoki rises whisper-fresh, with a hint of citrus and forest. It is a mood, a memory, a feeling of restoration.

• Found in ofuro baths, hinoki evokes purity, warmth, and renewal
• Present in ryokan inns, temples, and tea rooms, where air and material blend seamlessly
• Used in tea chests and kimono storage boxes to preserve freshness
• Associated with hospitality and refinement, from traditional homes to minimalist modern interiors

To live with hinoki is to welcome a gentle rhythm into the day.
Its scent folds space inward—rounding corners, quieting the mind, and connecting the present moment to something elemental.
